PSG sweat over Ousmane Dembélé’s fitness ahead of crucial Champions League clash against Monaco

France international of Malian descent Ousmane Dembélé is a major doubt for the upcoming Champions League playoff return clash between Paris Saint Germain and AS Monaco.

The reigning champions will play host to the Principality outfit on Wednesday, with both teams seeking for victory to secure a place in the knockout stage of the competition this season.

PSG manager Luis Enrique and his backroom staff are closely monitoring the fitness of their squad ahead of the much-anticipated clash. With the tie finely poised, the availability of several key players remains uncertain.

Dembélé, who also has Senegalese descent has returned to training but is still restricted to an individual program. While progress is being made, the French international is unlikely to feature in tomorrow’s high-stakes clash.

Besides, Franco-Congolese youngster Senny Mayulu has also been training individually alongside Dembélé, as both players work toward a full return to group sessions.

PSG fans will be watching closely, as the match represents a critical step toward securing a place in the Champions League group stage.

The medical team is taking no risks, aiming to balance player recovery with the team’s ambitions at this pivotal stage of the season.

With several first-team players on the mend, the onus will be on squad depth and tactical flexibility for Paris Saint-Germain FC as they look to navigate a challenging encounter against their Ligue 1 rivals.
