Squad Fitness Ahead of Champions League Showpiece

Paris Saint-Germain are poised to receive a significant fitness boost as they prepare to face Arsenal in the Champions League final on Saturday. Manager Luis Enrique is expected to have a full-strength squad available in Budapest, with both Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé and Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi overcoming recent injury scares.

Recent Injury Updates

Dembélé was forced to withdraw from PSG’s most recent Ligue 1 fixture against Paris FC nine days ago due to muscle fatigue, but had previously expressed confidence about featuring in the clash with Arsenal. Meanwhile, Hakimi suffered a thigh injury during the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich, leading to doubts about his availability for the final.

Training and Travel Plans

According to RMC Sport reports published earlier today, both Dembélé and Hakimi will participate in training at Campus PSG at 5pm today. The media outlet also confirmed that the Parisian side’s squad and coaching staff are due to travel to Hungary on Friday morning in preparation for the final showdown with Arsenal, who recently secured the Premier League title under Mikel Arteta.
