Ousmane Dembele injury latest: PSG handed major boost as star returns to training ahead of Arsenal clash | OneFootball

Dembele is reportedly winning his race to overcome hamstring injury in time to feature in second leg

They will now host the Gunners in Paris, when a place in the final in Munich laster this month will be on the line for two clubs who have never won the competition.

Dembele has been a significant doubt for the second leg, having been forced off against Arsenal at the Emirates with what PSG confirmed after the match was a hamstring strain.

PSG boss Luis Enrique said: “It's not serious, it's something very minor, but he's probably a doubt for the second leg.

"We're going to try to get Dembele back on the pitch. If Ousmane can play, that's better, but if he doesn't, we'll still be a real team. We've been saying that since the start of the season."

Dembele played no part as a much-changed PSG were beaten by Strasbourg over the weekend, with his full focus on recovering in time to face Arsenal.

That is a battle he appears to be winning, with French outlet L’Equipe reporting that Dembele completed gym work over the weekend and then returned to first-team training on Monday.

As it stands, it’s suggested that Dembele does not feel discomfort and is confident he will be able to feature against Arsenal, in what would be a huge boost to the hosts.
