PSG: Ugarte fit for Dortmund clash

Paris Saint-Germain have announced that newly signed Uruguayan midfield sensation Manuel Ugarte will be fit for the capital club's Champions League opener at home to Dortmund on Tuesday night.

Manuel Ugarte has been one of Paris Saint-Germain's consistently high-level performers early in the season - and this just after arriving at the capital club from Sporting in the later stage of the transfer window - and will be fit to play against Dortmund despite having picked up a knock in in the loss to Nice on Friday.

Ugarte was left writhing on the ground for several minutes when he copped a hard tackle from A Nice player as he delivered a star turn off the bench - despite having just returned form international duties the previous day - and the club had concerns over the participation of the young midfielder when Dortmund come calling on Tuesday night.

But on Tuesday, coach Luis Enrique included the young holding midfielder in the squad to face the German giants - while also calling up Nordi Mukiele, six months after the defender sustained a groin injury, and Korean dribble master Lee Kang-in.

The match at the Parc des Princes on Paris starts at 20:45 CET.
