Ousmane Dembele ready for PSG comeback after injury layoff

Paris Saint-Germain’s star winger Ousmane Dembele is set to make his return against Strasbourg after weeks of recovery from a troublesome hamstring injury.

The 2025 Ballon d’Or winner missed a chunk of games following a setback during France’s Nations League qualifier against Ukraine in early September, where he played as a substitute but aggravated his injury.

Dembele didn’t hang around in Qatar during the international break, choosing instead to head back to Paris early to speed up his recovery and reconnect with the squad. Sources close to the club say the 28-year-old has been laser-focused on getting back to top form and is determined to reclaim his starting spot.

PSG medical staff had initially estimated six weeks for his return, and Dembele’s comeback aligns perfectly with their timeline. His creativity and spark will be a huge boost for Luis Enrique’s side as they continue their chase for domestic and European glory. With Dembele back, the Parc des Princes faithful can look forward to some dazzling football in the weeks ahead.
