Paris Saint-Germain(PSG) forward Ousmane Dembele, who suffered a hamstring injury last week, has been passed fit to play in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal, coach Luis Enrique said on Tuesday. Dembele came off in the 70th minute of the first leg in London, after scoring the only goal of the game in the fourth minute, prompting the coach to suggest after the match that there was “a doubt” over his chances of playing in Wednesday’s return match.
He missed Saturday’s Ligue 1 defeat against Strasbourg but resumed training at the start of the week. “He’s been training with us for the last two days,” said Luis Enrique. “You saw him today, a normal training session for him. He’ll be available tomorrow.”
The France international has been PSG’s star performer this season, scoring 33 goals in all competitions. His availability for the match against Arsenal is a significant boost for PSG, who will be looking to hold onto their 1-0 lead from the first leg.
South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in also took part in the team training session following the knock he received in Strasbourg. With Dembele and Lee Kang-in available, PSG will be looking to field a strong team against Arsenal in the semi-final second leg.
The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to progress to the final. PSG will be confident with their 1-0 lead from the first leg, but Arsenal will be looking to overturn the deficit and reach the final.
The highly anticipated match between PSG and Arsenal is set to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams looking to make their mark in the Champions League. As Dembele and Lee Kang-in return to the lineup, PSG will be looking to capitalize on their 1-0 lead from the first leg, while Arsenal will aim to mount a strong comeback and secure their spot in the final.
