Dembele Declared Fit for PSG Ahead of Champions League Semi-Final Clash with Arsenal

Date:

 PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that forward Ousmane Dembele will be available for Wednesday’s decisive UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal, following a swift recovery from a hamstring injury that raised doubts about his fitness.

Dembele, 27, had been considered questionable after limping off during the second half of last week’s tightly contested first leg at Emirates Stadium. The French international had delivered the match’s only goal in north London, giving PSG a crucial away advantage, but his absence from the weekend’s Ligue 1 defeat to Strasbourg raised fresh concerns about his readiness.

Manager Luis Enrique dispelled any lingering doubts on Tuesday, assuring reporters that Dembele had returned to full training and would be available for selection against the Premier League title contenders.

“He’s been training with us for the last two days,” Enrique said. “You saw him on Tuesday — a normal training session for him. He’ll be available on Wednesday.”

Dembele, who joined PSG from Barcelona in 2023, has been instrumental in the club’s European campaign this season. He leads the team’s scoring charts with 33 goals across all competitions and remains a central figure in their push for a first Champions League title.

PSG enter the return leg at Parc des Princes aiming to secure a spot in the final, with Dembele’s return offering a major boost to their attacking strength against an Arsenal side eager to overturn the deficit.

The second leg kicks off Wednesday night in Paris, with both clubs seeking to return to the Champions League final after years of near misses.
