PSG coach Luis Enrique confirms Ousmane Dembele is fit and available for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

Ousmane Dembele is set to return to action for Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The French winger, who scored in PSG’s win over Bayern in the Club World Cup quarter-finals, has been cleared to play by coach Luis Enrique.

Dembele had been nursing a thigh injury, which limited him to just 18 minutes in PSG’s Ligue 1 match against Nice on Saturday. However, Enrique confirmed that the Ballon d’Or winner has been training without discomfort and is ready to compete.

“We do not take risks with any players. But Ousmane Dembele is fit, he has been in every training session for the last two weeks,” Enrique told reporters on Monday. “He is improving his physical fitness and he will certainly play tomorrow. I do not know for how many minutes, but he will play because he is ready to compete.”

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, have been in imperious form, winning all 15 competitive matches since their loss to PSG. They have won all nine Bundesliga games and are tied with PSG at the top of the Champions League table with nine points each.

PSG, the defending European champions, have been unbeaten in their last eight competitive matches. Enrique is confident that his team can extend that streak at home against the Bavarians.

“We know how difficult it will be. We are ready and motivated to win,” Enrique said. “I think there will be similar situations to what we saw in the United States last summer, with lots of intensity… in front of our supporters, with the atmosphere we created every game, we’re confident that we can improve our performance level to try to overcome their pressure.”

The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams boasting flawless records in the Champions League this season.
