Dembélé Returns to PSG Group Training, Nearing Monaco and Chelsea Clashes

French international Ousmane Dembélé has returned to group training with Paris Saint-Germain after recovering from a calf injury. This makes him a candidate to join the squad facing Monaco in Ligue 1 next Friday. His return follows a period of individual training, which the player underwent to ensure a gradual and safe recovery before rejoining his teammates.

The training session also saw the participation of Seny Mayulu, who had been suffering from a calf injury, and João Neves, who recovered from an ankle injury. Both are expected to join the squad for the Monaco match if their physical sensations are positive during Thursday's session. It is worth noting that Dembélé previously left the field during a Champions League playoff match against Monaco on February 17, subsequently missing several official fixtures, including the continental return leg.

Should his physical condition continue to progress positively, the French winger might feature in Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup against English club Chelsea next Wednesday, in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. The anticipated encounter against Monaco holds particular importance for the Parisian club as it is part of the 25th round of the French Ligue 1.
