Beware, Chelsea! Ousmane Dembélé set to play against Chelsea in the Champions League

The PSG coaching staff is taking a strategic approach to Dembélé's recovery.

Details: According to GOAL, PSG's 28-year-old forward Ousmane Dembélé will be fully fit in time for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against London side Chelsea.

It is reported that Dembélé is currently completely healthy and feels no discomfort, but Luis Enrique will not risk him in tomorrow's match against Monaco to avoid any recurrence, as happened in the previous Champions League match where PSG also faced Monaco.

Back then, Dembélé suffered an injury in just the 27th minute of the first playoff match and had to be substituted because the pain was too severe.

This season, Dembélé has played 25 matches for PSG, scoring 11 goals and providing 7 assists.

The first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 between PSG and Chelsea will take place on March 11 at Parc des Princes stadium.
