PSG handed boost ahead of Champions League semi-final second leg with Arsenal

Ousmane Dembélé has rejoined Paris Saint-Germain’s full training session on May 5, 2025, signaling a major boost for the French club as they prepare to face Arsenal in the Champions League semi final second leg on Wednesday.

The 27 year old forward was instrumental in PSG’s 1 0 victory in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, scoring the only goal of the match. However, his participation in the upcoming clash had been in doubt after he picked up a minor hamstring strain during that game. 

As a precaution, Dembélé missed PSG’s recent Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg and sat out earlier training sessions this week. His return to the training pitch on Monday has eased concerns, with reports indicating growing confidence within the PSG camp that he will be ready to start against Arsenal at Parc des Princes. Dembélé’s pace, creativity, and goal scoring ability are vital to PSG’s attacking strategy, and his availability could prove decisive as they aim to secure a spot in the Champions League final.

The former Barcelona and Dortmund star has been a key figure for PSG this season, and fans are eagerly awaiting his potential impact in this high stakes encounter. With the tie finely poised, his presence could tilt the balance in PSG’s favor as they look to capitalize on their narrow lead. 

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be wary of Dembélé’s threat, knowing his ability to unlock defenses on the big stage. The stage is set for a thrilling showdown in Paris.
