JAKARTA - Ousmane Dembele is likely to return to strengthen Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League home match against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, November 27, 2025, early morning WIB.

The Ballon d'Or winner, Dembele, has had an injury-torn season and has only played nine times after two separate injuries.

However, after Dembele trained on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, coach Luis Enrique acknowledged the possibility of the French player appearing against Spurs.

"He trains well. We'll see. If there's no problem, he'll be in the squad," said Luis Enrique.

This is good news for PSG ahead of an important game after they lost at home to Bayern Munich in a Champions League match at the start of the month.

PSG's duel against Spurs will be the second meeting of the season after a dramatic European Super Cup (UEFA Super Cup) match in August 2025.

Tottenham took two goals and prepared for a historic victory before Dembele inspired a revival in the last minute. PSG then won on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Champions League champions PSG have only returned to pre-season a week before the game at Udine. Luis Enrique promised a different match on this occasion.

"Tottenham started the season very well and are still unbeaten in the Champions League. Most of their players are international players. They are a strong team."

"Super Cup (Europe)? It was the first game of the season. The match on Thursday, November 27, 2025, will be different."

"It's a beautiful memory because it ends well, but a bad memory if I recall the first 60 minutes when we had a hard time."

"We are better prepared to be the dominant team and win the game. Our goal in every game is to be dominant."

"It will be difficult, but we will play at the Parc des Princes. We look forward to playing a very good match in front of our supporters," said Enrique.

Meanwhile, the match against Spurs could be an unforgettable night for PSG captain Marquinhos if elected.

The Brazilian defender was not played in a 3-0 win on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at Le Harve, but could make his 500th appearance for the French club if he was fielded against Tottenham.

"If Marquinhos is fit, he will play his 500th match on Wednesday (26 November 2025 local time). That's an incredible number."

"This is very important for him and all the players. It's amazing to see a player with such an impressive track record."

"He is a different player, a true leader. He is important and I look forward to playing with him for the coming years," said Luis Enrique.
