Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach, Luis Enrique, has confirmed that Ousmane Dembélé will be available for the upcoming Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal.

Dembélé, who scored the decisive goal in PSG’s 1-0 first-leg victory at the Emirates Stadium, had suffered a muscle injury but has resumed full training.

Dembélé’s return is important for PSG, as his pace and creativity on the wing have been instrumental in their European campaign. His presence adds a new dimension to PSG’s attack, potentially stretching Arsenal’s defense and creating space for other forwards.

For Arsenal, Dembélé’s inclusion means they must be prepared to counter his threat.

Manager Mikel Arteta will need to devise a strategy to neutralize Dembélé’s impact, possibly by assigning additional defensive support on the flanks or adjusting the team’s formation to provide better coverage compared to what was witnessed in the first leg

The psychological aspect of Dembélé’s return cannot be overlooked. His availability may boost PSG’s confidence, knowing they have one of their key players back in the lineup.

Conversely, Arsenal must maintain focus and not let Dembélé’s presence disrupt their game plan.
