Paris Saint-Germain have received a big boost as Ousmane Dembélé is fit to play in their important Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Head coach Luis Enrique confirmed that Dembélé has trained for two days with the team and is ready to return. The French winger had hurt his hamstring during the first leg against Arsenal and missed PSG’s recent Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg to be safe. With Dembélé now fit, PSG’s attack regains a crucial piece for one of their most important games of the season.
DEMBÉLÉ AND PSG THIS SEASON
Dembélé has been a key player for PSG this season, scoring in the first leg at the Emirates to help his side take a 1-0 lead in the semi-final tie. In Ligue 1, PSG have already won the title comfortably. Dembélé has contributed with goals, assists, and his fast running, making his availability a great lift as PSG aim for European glory.
WHAT’S NEXT IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RACE?
PSG will face Arsenal at Parc des Princes on Wednesday night for a spot in the Champions League final. The French side hold a narrow lead after the first leg. Arsenal are having a strong season in the Premier League, currently sitting second behind Manchester City, and will be determined to overturn the deficit. This match will be very important for both clubs, as PSG seek their first Champions League trophy and Arsenal fight to reach their first final since 2006.
