US EditionBallon d'Or Winner Dembélé Returns to PSG Squad for Champions League Match After Hamstring Injury
Dembele returns to PSG squad after six weeks out with a hamstring injury as the club aims to maintain momentum in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
- On Oct 20, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain forward and Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele is set to return for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.
- Sidelined since early September, Ousmane Dembele was out six weeks with a hamstring injury and recuperated at a specialist clinic in Qatar before returning to training last week.
- The club confirmed that PSG remains without midfielders Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves, while captain Marquinhos reportedly traveled to Germany with the squad, and forwards Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were recently reintegrated.
- The development gives coach Luis Enrique a welcome boost as PSG has made a strong start to their Champions League defence, beating Atalanta and Barcelona while Leverkusen drew with FC Copenhagen and PSV Eindhoven.
- He missed Friday’s 3-3 draw at Strasbourg but is listed in the first-team squad for Tuesday, and PSG published images of Dembele training normally on Saturday after returning last week.
