Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi are back in full training for Paris Saint-Germain ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against Arsenal in Budapest.
Dembele missed nearly two weeks with a right calf injury picked up in Ligue 1 action against Paris FC on May 17. Hakimi sat out after suffering a right thigh injury during PSG's thrilling semi-final victory over Bayern Munich. Both players returned to the pitch this week, the club confirmed through social media posts.
The news comes as a major boost for PSG's preparations. Dembele, who won last year's Ballon d'Or, brings attacking pace and creativity that will be crucial against Arsenal's defence. Hakimi's recovery is equally important; the fullback's defensive stability and ability to drive forward from the right flank have been central to PSG's run through Europe.
Defending champions PSG face Arsenal on Saturday in Budapest seeking to retain their title. The final shapes as a tactical contest between PSG's attacking flair and Arsenal's structured pressing game. Having both Dembele and Hakimi at full fitness gives PSG more options in midweek training sessions and increases the likelihood they will start or feature significantly in the match.
PSG manager Luis Enrique will make final decisions on team selection after Saturday's training session.
