Trains fully, back available Dembele (calf) trained fully with the team Wednesday and is back available for Friday's clash against Monaco, according to Benjamin Quarez from Le Parisien.

Impact Dembele has recovered from his calf injury and returned to full team training Wednesday, putting him back in the mix for Friday's clash against Monaco. The Ballon d'Or winner should see some minutes against the Diagonale as he continues building match fitness ahead of Wednesday's big Champions League showdown with Chelsea. If Dembele ends up starting on the bench again, Bradley Barcola or Desire Doue are the leading candidates to handle the striker role, with Goncalo Ramos appearing to sit slightly lower in the current pecking order.

Remains out Dembele (calf) is training individually and remains out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Dembele has returned to individual training but remains sidelined for now as he continues to recover from his calf injury. The Ballon d'Or winner has battled recurring muscle issues throughout the season, and the staff is in no rush to gamble with their top weapon ahead of a critical stretch in the coming months. Until he is fully cleared, Desire Doue, Kang-In Lee and Goncalo Ramos stand as the main attacking options to fill the striker role for PSG.

PSG coach Luis Enrique must decide whether to protect lead or attack against Monaco

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique may be unsure how to approach the second leg of the Champions League playoff against Monaco on Wednesday

FEBRUARY 24 • Associated Press

Won't be available Wednesday Dembele (calf) resumed individual training but won't be an option for Wednesday's second leg against Monaco in the Champions League, according to the club.

Impact Dembele picked up a calf injury against Rennes and was pulled early as a precaution in last week's first leg against Monaco in the Champions League. The Ballon d'Or winner was held out of the weekend clash with Metz to manage the issue and rest, but Wednesday's return leg against Monaco comes too soon for the forward to make his comeback. He'll aim to ramp up his workload over the next few days as he targets a return for upcoming fixtures, while Desire Doue, Kang-In Lee or Goncalo Ramos are in the mix to lead the line against the Diagonale.

Could miss second UCL leg Dembele is managing a calf injury he picked up against Rennes, and while the latest updates are trending in a positive direction, he is still unlikely to be available for Wednesday...

Impact Dembele picked up a calf injury in the clash against Rennes, and it forced him to exit early in Tuesday's first leg against Monaco in the Champions League. The Ballon d'Or winner will go through additional testing, but initial feedback around the club has been encouraging. Still, he is likely looking at a minimum 10 days recovery window, which leaves his status for Wednesday's return leg against the Diagonale up in the air. If he is ruled out, Desire Doue, Kang-In Lee or Goncalo Ramos are in line to take on expanded responsibilities in the frontline for the Parisians.

Subs off early Tuesday Dembele left the field in the 27th minute of Tuesday's UCL clash with Monaco as he was not fully healthy after suffering a calf issue during the week.

Impact Dembele was apparently ready to start in the Champions League matchup, but he was replaced by Desire Doue in the first half. The stellar attacker walked off the pitch, but it remains unclear exactly how serious his injury is, making him a doubt again for upcoming contests. While Doue scored immediately after taking Dembele's place Tuesday, Goncalo Ramos is also available as a more natural center-forward option.

Finds starting XI Dembele (calf) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Monaco.

Impact Dembele is not missing any time with his calf injury and is starting immediately, appearing to only be dealing with a minor injury despite doubts, potentially only playing mind games against a rival. The French forward only has two goal contributions in UCL play this season, far from his 14 last campaign.
