Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain)
October 2025

Both return to the squad for Bayer Leverkusen after hamstring and thigh layoffs, respectively. PSG still lack Fabián Ruiz and João Neves, but Dembélé’s creativity and Marquinhos’ leadership bolster group-stage ambitions. Medical staff will manage minutes to avoid setbacks following rehab in Doha (Dembélé) and a staged strength programme (Marquinhos). Luis Enrique regains width, one-v-one threat, and back-line stability for a demanding schedule.
