Paris Saint-Germain's prospects for the upcoming Champions League final have improved as key players Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi are fit to participate. Facing Arsenal on Saturday, the team has Dembélé back at full health after dealing with a calf strain, reassuring fans and teammates alike.

Hakimi, who suffered a thigh injury in late April, has also recovered in time for the final. After being absent since the semifinal against Bayern Munich, Hakimi has returned to training and is cleared to play, as confirmed by PSG coach Luis Enrique. This development is a welcome relief for PSG, which aims to defend its title following last year's record-breaking victory.

Dembélé, having experienced a minor setback in the French league finale, expressed confidence in his readiness for the final. At a press event in Budapest, he highlighted the challenges PSG has faced during a demanding season, noting the importance of strategic player rest management in gearing up for the final clash with Arsenal.
