Paris Saint-Germain have been handed a major boost ahead of their Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen, as Ousmane Dembele and captain Marquinhos both return to the squad after injury layoff, Afrosport reports.
Dembele has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury while on international duty with France in early September. The Ballon d’Or winner underwent rehabilitation at a specialist clinic in Qatar before returning to training last week.
The 28-year-old missed PSG’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Strasbourg on Friday but could feature in Germany as the reigning European champions aim to maintain their perfect start in the competition.
Marquinhos also returns after recovering from a thigh injury that kept him out since 22 September. His comeback strengthens a PSG defence that has struggled with consistency in recent weeks.

Midfielders Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves remain unavailable, though forwards Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have already made their comebacks.
PSG will be looking to make it three wins from three in the Champions League group stage when they face Leverkusen on Tuesday night.
