PSG press review: Dembélé set to return against Bayer Leverkusen? | OneFootball

This Monday, October 20, the French press (on the sporting side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s match tomorrow against Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage. A game for which Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) should be back. There’s also the women’s team’s narrow win yesterday against Strasbourg (0-1).

Little by little, PSG is getting its strength back with key players returning from injury. There’s a strong squad, options, and promising youngsters, but it’s undeniable that the team is stronger when the starters from the Champions League final are available. Dembélé is one of them, and his return looks on track for this Tuesday. We also hope to see Fabian Ruiz (29-year-old midfielder) and João Neves (21-year-old midfielder) again, though that’s less certain. Paris won’t risk a longer injury.

In any case, there’s a big game to deliver in Leverkusen to keep the perfect Champions League run going and move quickly toward qualification for the round of 16. The opponent will be strong, but PSG should normally have the solutions to go and take all 3 points—especially since the German team is hit by numerous absences. Even if Le Parisien focuses on recent wins, including Saturday’s against Mainz (3-4), we mainly see a team against which Paris should be able to take 3 points.
