The announcement was made by PSG coach Luis Enrique on Tuesday, following concerns about a hamstring injury sustained by the French international last week.

Dembele was substituted in the 70th minute of the first leg in London, shortly after scoring the decisive goal in the fourth minute, leading to doubts about his availability for Wednesday’s return fixture in Paris.

He subsequently missed PSG’s Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg on Saturday.

However, Dembele has since resumed training with the team at the beginning of the week, participating fully in the sessions.

Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Luis Enrique confirmed the positive news. “He’s been training with us for the last two days,” the coach stated. “You saw him today, a normal training session for him. He’ll be available tomorrow.”

The return of Dembele is a major lift for PSG as the France international has been in outstanding form this season, leading the team with 33 goals across all competitions.

In further positive news for the Parisian club, South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in also participated in the team’s training session.

Lee had sustained a knock during the Strasbourg match but appears to have recovered in time for the crucial Champions League encounter.

With both key players back in contention, PSG will be looking to capitalize on their 1-0 advantage from the first leg as they aim to secure a place in the Champions League final.
