Impact Dembele has fully recovered from the illness that made him miss Saturday's clash against Metz and is fully fit moving forward since he trained with the team on Monday and is expected to play a decent role in the Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo. Dembele will hope to keep himself fit and start 2026 in a good shape since he has been struggling with numerous injuries this campaign.

Remains out Saturday Dembele (illness) remains out for Saturday's clash against Metz, the club posted.

Impact Dembele trained individually on Friday and wasn't able to recover in time from his illness to be back available for Saturday's clash against the Grenats. The Ballon d'Or will hope to recover before the intercontinental cup final coming next week for the Parisians. Senny Mayulu, Desire Doue or Goncalo Ramos are the options to play in the striker role while he is out.

Unlikely against Metz Dembele (illness) resumed individual training and is unlikely for Saturday's clash against Metz since he remains on the injury report, the club announced.

Impact Dembele missed the trip to Bilbao in the Champions League due to illness and has only resumed individual training on Friday. The Ballon d'Or is unlikely going to be available for Saturday's clash against Metz since he remains on the injury report. That said, given the intercontinental cup game coming next week, Dembele would have seen limited playing time against the Grenats, therefore his potential absence won't impact the starting XI.

Dembélé and Chevalier to miss PSG's Champions League match against Athletic Bilbao

Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé and goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier will miss Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League trip to Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday

DECEMBER 9 • Associated Press

Late call Wednesday Dembele (illness) is a late call for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Athletic Club, according to Le Parisien.

Impact Dembele wasn't training with the team on Monday due to illness and will be a late call for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Athletic Club since his presence in the match squad will depend on his sensations when waking up on Tuesday morning. Dembele was expected to start that game and his first one since his return from his calf injury, but if he had to miss the clash or start on the bench, Senny Mayulu, Goncalo Ramos or Kang-In Lee will be the available options to replace him in the frontline.

Impact off the bench with assist Dembele assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 5-0 victory against Rennes.

Impact Dembele began on the bench for the third straight match following his return from a calf injury and came on in the 64th minute to set up Goncalo Ramos for a goal Saturday against Rennes. The Frenchman remains an important part of coach Luis Enrique's plans and will regain his starting role once he is back to full fitness. He has tallied three goals and two assists in 11 matches across all competitions this season.

Available off bench Dembele (calf) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Tottenham.

Impact Dembele is back on the bench for Wednesday's clash after overcoming a calf issue. The forward wasn't deemed fit enough to start, with Quentin Ndjantou getting the nod instead. Dembele is brilliant when healthy, but staying fit especially in a busy part of the season, has been tough for him.

Ballon d'Or winner Dembélé returns to PSG squad for Champions League match after calf injury

Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé has been included in PSG's squad for their Champions League match against Tottenham on Wednesday

NOVEMBER 26 • Associated Press

Makes squad list Dembele (calf) is back available for Wednesday's clash against Tottenham in the Champions League as he is included in the squad list.

Impact Dembele was a late call for Wednesday's clash against Tottenham and could answer it since he is included in the squad list. This is good news for Paris Saint-Germain since Dembele is the main attacking threat in the attack when fit and his return will boost the frontline. That said, it remains to be seen what role he will hold against the Spurs, likely a super sub role, even though he could be a surprise starter similarly to Nuno Mendes against Le Havre on Saturday.

Impact Dembele has been training fully with the squad since last week and is feeling good as he no longer feels any pain or discomfort in his calf. The Ballon d'Or winner will be a late call for Wednesday's clash against Tottenham in the Champions League and if no issue appears before the game, he will be included in the match squad. That said, it remains quite unlikely to see him start the game even if fit as the club now prioritizes precaution for players returning from injuries. Senny Mayulu or Goncalo Ramos are the two likely options to lead the frontline against the Spurs.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Still in return phase Dembele (calf) is training fully but isn't yet an option for Paris Saint-Germain, according to the club.

Impact Dembele has been training fully with the team this week but will not be an option for Saturday's clash against Le Havre. The Ballon d'Or winner is nearing a return from his calf injury, and that could happen in Wednesday's Champions League match against Tottenham if he is deemed fit enough and clears the new protocol in PSG. Until then, Senny Mayulu or Goncalo Ramos will take the starting role to lead the line for the Parisians.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Needs to be assessed Dembele (calf) will be assessed on Friday and the results will determine when he can make the squad, according to Fabrice Hawkins from RMC Sport.

Impact Dembele is nearing a return from a calf injury and this could happen in Saturday's clash against Le Havre depending on the results of the assessment he will undergo on Friday. Paris Saint-Germain are following a new protocol that prioritizes caution with injured players to avoid setbacks by rushing them back, but with the important clash against Tottenham coming on Wednesday in the Champions League, Dembele could see some minutes off the bench against Le Havre if he is deemed fit enough to feature in order to prepare for the game against Spurs. Until he is fully ready to start, Senny Mayulu and Goncalo Ramos are the main options to replace him in the frontline.

NOVEMBER 20 • Associated Press

Unlikely against Tottenham Dembele (calf) is unlikely to feature in one week against Tottenham due to the new protocol of Paris Saint-Germain regarding injuries, according to ParisTeamFr.

Impact Dembele is still recovering from a calf injury and will unlikely feature against Tottenham in one week time since Paris Saint-Germain decided to install a new protocol for injured players that will need them to undergo a big amount of workload and trainings before getting back in the match squad in order to avoid any setbacks that they often dealt with this season. Until Dembele returns fully fit, Goncalo Ramos and Senny Mayulu are the two main options to replace him in the frontline.
