Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé was on Monday, October 20, included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League after a six-week injury layoff. Dembélé's return for Tuesday's league stage game will come as a welcome boost for coach Luis Enrique, whose side has been struggling with injuries this season.

Dembélé, 28, has been out since injuring a hamstring while on international duty with France in early September. He had been recuperating at a specialist clinic in Qatar and returned to training last week.
