PARIS (AP) — Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele has been included in the PSG squad traveling to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday for their Champions League match after being sidelined for more than a month with a hamstring injury.
PSG captain Marquinhos, who missed several weeks of action with a left thigh issue, also makes his return.
Dembélé suffered the injury on Sept. 5 while playing for France in a 2-0 win against Ukraine in World Cup qualifying.
Defending champion PSG has won its opening two matches in the league phase of the tournament.
