Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembele has returned to first-team training following a two-week calf injury, handed Luis Enrique a major boost ahead of Friday’s Ligue 1 encounter against Monaco.
Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele is back in contention for Paris Saint-Germain after recovering from a calf injury sustained in mid-February.
The French international rejoined the collective group following a successful rehabilitation period, missing three matches during his absence.
His return is a timely lift for Luis Enrique’s side, who currently sit four points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
Beyond the domestic league, PSG are eyeing a crucial Champions League round of 16 tie against Chelsea next Wednesday.
Coaching staff have taken a cautious approach to his fitness to ensure he is ready for the “business end of the season.”
Further injury boosts include Joao Neves and Senny Mayulu, both of whom have also resumed training alongside the first-team squad.
