"You are very focused on the Ballon d'Or, Ousmane Dembele is the same person, the same player. He is different from others. We are delighted to have him back in the squad and also Marquinhos and Désiré Doué, who came back last week. So it is important for the team and the players to have players back, it gives us options. It doesn't change anything because it is about how the players feel today and we will see how it goes tomorrow."
"They have quality, they can also defend deep and also play with a press. We need to manage the match carefully, but we are used to that because we face different situations in footballing terms. So we are calm and ready. We have the final training session today to see how players are doing and play the match tomorrow."
"Dembélé suffered the injury on Sept. 5 while playing for France in a 2-0 win against Ukraine in World Cup qualifying."
Ousmane Dembélé has been included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the Champions League trip to Bayer Leverkusen after more than six weeks out with a hamstring injury sustained on Sept. 5 while playing for France. Captain Marquinhos also returns following a left thigh issue, and Désiré Doué rejoined last week. PSG gain more options with those returns, with final selection dependent on how the players feel before kickoff. Leverkusen possess quality, can defend deep and press, requiring careful match management. PSG sit one point behind Marseille in Ligue 1 after eight matches.
