Ousmane Dembele closes in on PSG return after injury boost

Ousmane Dembele is on the verge of returning to action for Paris Saint-Germain after making impressive progress in his recovery from injury.

According to L’Equipe, the winger, who was sidelined after picking up a problem in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs against Monaco, has responded very well to treatment in recent days.

Dembele is now expected to be named in the squad for PSG’s Ligue 1 trip to face Monaco at the weekend. Depending on the outcome of final fitness checks and Luis Enrique’s plans, he could even start the match, which would mark a rapid and timely comeback. His return is seen as a major boost for PSG as they gear up for a demanding run of fixtures.

If Dembele comes through the Monaco game unscathed and performs well, he is likely to feature prominently in the following matches. That includes the high-stakes Champions League clash against Chelsea, where his creativity and directness could be decisive for PSG’s attacking game.
