Ballon d’Or winner Dembélé returns to PSG’s squad for the Champions League match after a calf injury

Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele is set to return from a left calf injury after being named in Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Tottenham.

Dembele has not played since retiring midway through the first half of PSG’s 2-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich in the league on November 4.

Dembele had only recently returned from a right hamstring injury suffered while playing for France in September.

PSG, who have been plagued by injuries this season, will still have to make do without Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi, who sprained his left ankle during the defeat to Bayern Munich.

PSG defeated Tottenham on penalties when they met in the UEFA Super Cup in August, securing the French club’s fifth trophy of 2025.

PSG won the Champions League last season and is currently seventh in the league phase after four games, three points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
