Ousmane Dembélé yes, but…

PSG attacks the third act of the Champions League on Tuesday evening against Bayer Leverkusen, after two victories over Atalanta Bergamo and FC Barcelona. To do this, the capital club can count on a considerably increased workforce, with the income acquired in the group of Marquinhos and Ousmane Dembélé.

If the Brazilian captain and defender is likely to start the match against the Germans, this will certainly not be the case for the 2025 Ballon d'Or. Back after six weeks of convalescence – compared to eight initially planned – the Blues striker has been able to take advantage of the facilities at the Aspetar center in Doha in recent days to regain his health.

Mayulu expected to be holder

However, there is no question of skipping the steps. The Parisian staff seem to want to play the card of caution when it comes to their presumed best offensive asset. This Tuesday, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – spared against Strasbourg last Friday – should thus do the job. Like young Senny Mayulu, who has every chance of starting.

PSG's probable eleven against Bayer:
Knight – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Doué – Kvaratskhelia, Mayulu, Barcola.
