Ousmane Dembélé made his return last Friday against AS Monaco after a calf injury.

Coming off the bench for the final half hour against Monaco, the French international is expected to start against Chelsea this Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. At least, that's according to reports from L'Equipe and RMC this Tuesday.

Against Monaco, Ousmane Dembélé reassured the Parisian staff regarding his physical condition. In midfield, head coach Luis Enrique could immediately give a starting spot to Joao Neves, who is back after his ankle injury.

Projected PSG lineup against Chelsea: Safonov - Hakimi, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Mendes - Neves, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery - Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé, Barcola.
