Overview
- Paris Saint-Germain named Ousmane Dembélé in the traveling group for Tuesday's match at Bayer Leverkusen after more than six weeks out with a hamstring injury.
- Dembélé sustained the injury on Sept. 5 playing for France and rejoined full training last week, with PSG releasing images showing him working normally.
- He missed Friday's 3-3 draw with Strasbourg and this marks his first squad inclusion since receiving the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
- Captain Marquinhos also returns to the squad, with Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia recently back, while midfielders Fabián Ruiz and João Neves remain unavailable.
- Coach Luis Enrique welcomed the added options and said player fitness will be assessed before kickoff; PSG have beaten Atalanta and Barcelona in Europe, while Leverkusen have drawn with FC Copenhagen and PSV.
