PSG wait on Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé a week from Champions League final | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain staged an internal match with supporters watching a week before facing Arsenal in the Champions League final, but Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé did not take part.

According to L'Équipe, the midday run-out at the Poissy campus, in heavy heat before dozens of children and hundreds of ultras, used mixed teams with Cordier, Fanné-Dramé, Khafi and Abo El Nay involved.

Nuno Mendes and Willian Pacho returned after being preserved against Paris FC, 1-2, last Sunday, and Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz scored during two 20-minute halves played at full contact.

A video analysis on Arsenal took place in the morning and players signed autographs afterwards, yet the main takeaway remained the absences.

Hakimi, who sustained a thigh lesion in the semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich, 5-4, on 28 April, limited himself to individual work the day after appearing before the chamber of instruction of the Versailles Court of Appeal. His return to full training is said to be imminent, but starting next Saturday at 18:00 appears tight.

Dembélé, withdrawn with right calf discomfort against PFC, continued individual work and in broadcast interviews sounded very reassuring, stating he would start at 18:00. His camp remains positive about a Budapest start, but if he is not with the main group when PSG resume on Tuesday after two days off, his place at kick-off will be in real doubt.
