  • Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) received a boost before the Champions League final with the return of Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi to full training.
  • Both players had been sidelined by injuries: Dembele with a thigh muscle issue and Hakimi with a thigh injury.
  • Their return strengthens PSG's squad options as they prepare to defend their title against Arsenal in Budapest.

Paris Saint-Germain received a significant boost ahead of their Champions League final clash against Arsenal in Budapest, as key players Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi have returned to full training.

The French champions confirmed the players' return via their social media channels, offering fans added encouragement before one of the season's most crucial matches. PSG aims to defend its European title against Arsenal.

Dembele's return is particularly vital. The forward had been sidelined with a right calf muscle injury sustained during a league match on May 17. His availability provides PSG coach Luis Enrique with an additional attacking option, reintegrating one of the team's most influential players for the decisive phase of the season.

Hakimi has been recovering from a right thigh injury sustained during PSG's dramatic semi-final victory over Bayern Munich. The Moroccan full-back is a cornerstone of the Parisian squad, contributing both defensive solidity and attacking width on the right flank. While their return to training does not guarantee a starting spot in the final, it substantially enhances PSG's squad depth and preparation for the encounter with Arsenal.
