Ousmane Dembele - 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.

Impact Zabarnyi delivered a strong defensive performance in Saturday's clash against Le Havre, recording one tackle, two interceptions and six clearances while proving difficult to break down.

FEBRUARY 27 • Associated Press

Fabian Ruiz - Sidelined at least two more weeks Ruiz (knee) will remain sidelined at least two more weeks to work on a specific individual program in his recovery, the club announced.

Impact Ruiz is still dealing with lingering knee pain from the knock he picked up against Sporting CP in the Champions League, and he is set to miss at least two more weeks while following an individualized rehab program aimed at eliminating the pain. The midfielder remains sidelined as he works his way back to full strength. In the meantime, Warren Zaire-Emery is in line to take on an expanded role in the engine room and should see increased responsibility in the middle of the park.

Ousmane Dembele - 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.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Finds the net Kvaratskhelia scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Monaco.

Impact Kvaratskhelia scored after capitalizing on a rebound from an Achraf Hakimi shot that was poorly cleared by Philippe Kohn in Wednesday's clash against Monaco, ending his three-match run without a goal contribution. He added two key passes and four crosses. The Georgian winger has been in a somewhat difficult stretch but remains a locked-in starter when fully fit and confident, having started 19 of his 28 appearances this season while recording eight goals and six assists during that span.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Desire Doue - Provides one assist Doue assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Monaco.

Impact Doue delivered a strong attacking performance in Wednesday's clash against Monaco, providing an assist to Marquinhos in the second half after a sharp dribble. He added three shots, four key passes and five crosses. The Golden Boy is in excellent form, totaling three goals, one assist and 10 key passes across his last three matches in all competitions. The Frenchman is a constant threat to opposing defenses with his relentless dribbling, and his involvement on set pieces further enhances his ability to produce decisive moments at any time.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Marquinhos - Scores one goal Marquinhos scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Monaco.

Impact Marquinhos scored off an assist from Desire Doue to help his side equalize against Monaco on Wednesday, adding one key pass and three clearances. The Brazilian did not have many defensive interventions to make but was valuable in possession with his distribution to the wings. He remains a locked-in starter alongside William Pacho in central defense.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Matvey Safonov - Two saves in draw Safonov had two saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Monaco. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.

Impact Safonov made two saves and conceded two goals in Wednesday's draw against Monaco. The goalkeeper is going through a difficult stretch, having recorded just five saves while allowing seven goals and keeping one clean sheet across his last four appearances in all competitions. His starting role could be under scrutiny moving forward, with Lucas Chevalier pushing for minutes. Next match against Le Havre on Saturday.
