PSG lineup vs. Arsenal: Predicted XI for Champions League final as Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi decisions made

Dembele decision, Hakimi status: Predicted PSG XI vs. Arsenal

Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique is set to have Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembele available for Saturday's Champions League final against Arsenal in Budapest.

The former suffered a moderate hamstring injury against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, before Dembele hurt his calf in a 2-1 loss to Paris FC on the final day of the Ligue 1 season.

Both players have made the squad and have bene training ahead of the final, although there is still lingering doubt over Hakimi's place in the first XI.

As a result, Enrique should deploy Warren Zaire-Emery as a makeshift right-back alongside Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes, the latter two of whom are expected to overcome minor thigh niggles to make the starting lineup.

The Parisiens backline will be shielding Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, whose rival Lucas Chevalier is struggling with his own thigh problem but has been bumped down to number two anyway.

With Zaire-Emery required at right-back, Fabian Ruiz - who scored a stunner against Arsenal in last year's semi-finals - will link up with Portuguese pair Joao Neves and Vitinha in the engine room.

Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos are waiting in the wings if needed, but Dembele is on course to start in between Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who needs one more goal to set a new all-time record in one Champions League season for PSG; his current total of 10 is tied with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:

Safonov; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
