The Parisian Arsenal Reassembles

The calm before the storm is ending in Poissy. After a brief two-day break, Paris Saint-Germain have returned to the training pitch, and the news coming out of the facility is electric. Just four days before the Champions League final against Arsenal FC, the club has confirmed that two of its most dynamic weapons are back in action. Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi are set to join their teammates for collective drills this Tuesday afternoon.

Injury Doubts Evaporate

Dembélé, who suffered a calf strain in the season’s final league match against Paris FC, has been undergoing intensive treatment. However, the French winger has been vocal about his readiness. Speaking on RMC’s "Rothen s'enflamme," he dismissed any lingering concerns. "I had a minor issue against Paris FC, but I’m fine. Will I be at 100%? Yes. I have no doubts I’ll be on the pitch on May 30," he declared. His confidence is palpable, and the medical staff appear ready to back him.

Hakimi follows a similar trajectory. The Moroccan international picked up a thigh muscle injury during the dramatic 5-4 semi-final victory over Bayern Munich. While he had been training individually, the expectation is that he will merge with the main squad today. Unless a last-minute setback occurs, the right-back is poised to add his pace and defensive steel to the final lineup.

Bound for Budapest

This training session marks the final sprint before the biggest night of the season. The squad will depart for Budapest on Friday morning, acclimatizing to the conditions ahead of the showdown. The return flight to Paris is scheduled for the day after the match. With the key attackers and defenders healthy, the pressure is now squarely on Arsenal to find an answer to a fully armed PSG side.
