PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé expected to make return against Tottenham Hotspur | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé (28) suffered a calf injury against Bayern Munich earlier this month, however, according to a report from RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, the Ballon d’Or winner could make his return to action against Tottenham Hotspur next week. 

Dembélé won the Ballon d’Or in September, however, it has been an injury-hit campaign for the Paris Saint-Germain forward, who notably suffered a severe hamstring injury while on France duty in September.

His training and minutes have since been meticulously managed, but he then suffered a separate injury in the first half of PSG’s UCL defeat to Bayern Munich. That injury meant that he missed out on Les Bleus’ games against Ukraine and Azerbaijan during the international break. 

However, his return is now imminent. Hakwins understands that, depending on how training goes on Friday, he could even be involved against Le Havre AC on Saturday. But no risks will be taken by the medical staff, and a return against Tottenham on Wednesday is a more likely scenario.
