Ousmane Dembélé could return to action with Paris Saint-Germain in Wednesday’s Champions League match against Tottenham.
The Ballon d’Or winner has had a season marked by injuries, playing only nine matches due to two separate physical problems.
However, after Tuesday’s training, coach Luis Enrique admitted that the French international is likely to participate against the Spurs.
He has trained well. We will see tomorrow. If there are no problems, he will be in the squad.
This news arrives at an opportune moment for PSG, after the defeat at home against Bayern Munich in their last European match.Ousmane Dembele se acerca a su regreso a la acción con el PSG.This will be the second encounter between both clubs this season, after a dramatic Super Cup match in August.
The Tottenham were winning by two goals and seemed headed for a historic victory, before Dembélé inspired a late comeback and PSG subsequently won in the penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw.
The coach Luis Enrique promised a different match this time.
Added: “Tottenham has had a great start to the season and remains undefeated in the Champions League. Most of their players are internationals. They are a strong team.”
“The Super Cup? That was the first match of the season; Wednesday’s match will be different. It’s a good memory because it ended well, but a bad memory if I think about the first 60 minutes, when we were suffering.”
“We are more prepared to be a dominant team and to win the match.”
“Our goal is the same in every match: to be dominant. It will be difficult, but we will play at the Parc des Princes and we hope to play a very good match in front of our fans.”Marquinhos está a punto de cumplir su partido número 500 con el PSG.Wednesday could be a memorable night for PSG captain Marquinhos, if he is selected.
The Brazilian defender was a substitute in Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Le Harve, but could play his 500th match for the French club if he participates against Tottenham.
If Marquinhos is in shape, he will play his 500th match on Wednesday. It’s an incredible figure.
Luis Enrique
“It’s very important for him and for all the players. It’s wonderful to see a player with such an impressive career.”
“He’s a different player, a true leader. He’s important and I hope to have him for many more years.”
