Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed a huge injury boost for their side ahead of their Champions League final with Arsenal later this month.

The defending champions booked their place in the final after overcoming Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in the semi-finals.

And Luis Enrique’s side are set to face off against the Gunners after they overcame Atletico Madrid to reach their first Champions League final since 2006.

The Parisian side still have work to do domestically before the European showdown, but only need a point on Wednesday against second-place Lens to wrap up the league title.

And PSG have handed a huge boost ahead of a pivotal few weeks, with Achraf Hakimi returning to training on Tuesday.

The Morocco international has been sidelined with a thigh injury he suffered in the first leg of the semi-final showdown with Bayern Munich.

There had even been fears that the right-back would miss the rest of the season, and possibly the World Cup, but the club have now confirmed that the 27-year-old, as well as Lucas Chevalier and Quentin, has resumed individual training.

‘Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Chevalier and Quentin Ndjantou are training individually outdoors,’ a statement read.

PSG also confirmed that midfielder Kang-In Lee is set for a spell on the sidelines after sustaining an ankle injury in the 1-0 win over Brest last weekend.

‘Following an injury to his left ankle during the match against Brest, Kang-In Lee will be training indoors over the next few days,’ the statement added.

‘Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes and Warren Zaire-Emery are continuing their rehabilitation.’

Arsenal, meanwhile, are dealing with a growing defensive crisis after Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori joined Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino on their injury list.

Declan Rice was forced to play as a makeshift right-back for a portion of their 1-0 win over West Ham on Sunday, with Cristhian Mosquera in line to deputise in the role when they host Burnley next Monday.
