By Canadian Press on March 6, 2026.

PARIS (AP) — Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé has been included in Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for its Ligue 1 game at home to Monaco on Friday.

Dembélé had missed the last three games with a calf injury, after limping off in the first half during the first leg of the Champions League playoff game at Monaco three weeks ago.

PSG coach Luis Enrique did not say whether Dembélé will start the game.

Defending champion PSG hosts two-time champion Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 game at Parc des Princes next Wednesday. ___
