Paris Saint-Germain's injury worries have cleared up ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal on Saturday. PSG forward Ousmane Dembele has been managing a calf issue in the final weeks of the season but the reigning Ballon d'Or winner said Friday he is "100% ready and raring to go." There was more concern about the health of defender Achraf Hakimi, who hasn't played since sustaining a right thigh injury against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals on April 28. However, the attacking right back, who was selected by Morocco for the World Cup this week, was also spotted in training on Tuesday and has been given the all-clear by PSG coach Luis Enrique, who said Hakimi was "OK and able to play tomorrow." PSG will be looking to successfully defend the title the team won in record-breaking fashion last year with a 5-0 win over Inter Milan - the most lopsided final in the competition's 70-year history.

A second straight Champions League semifinal is in sight for Arsenal. Kai Havertz scored in stoppage time on Tuesday to seal a 1-0 win over Sporting Lisbon at Estadio Jose Alvalade to put Mikel Arteta's team in control of the quarterfinal tie. The substitute fired past goalkeeper Rui Silva from close range to give Arsenal the advantage ahead of next week's second leg at the Emirates. In Tuesday's other quarterfinal, Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid 2-1 at the Bernabeu. Havertz settled a tight game in Portugal by combining with fellow substitute Gabriel Martinelli in the first minute of added time. With one touch the German controlled Martinelli's defense-splitting pass in the box and then converted with a side-footed finish. "To score a late goal is always nice," Havertz told Amazon Prime. "We will take that result. There is still a lot of work to do next week." Victory saw Arsenal bounce back from successive defeats which cut its quadruple trophy hunt in half in recent weeks. Loss
Alexander Isak was included in Liverpool's squad to face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday. The Sweden striker traveled with the team to Paris after taking part in training on Tuesday. Isak is set to make his return after having surgery in late December on a broken ankle and fibula. Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Isak is fit enough to play but not to start at Parc des Princes. "He finished close to a week of team training sessions, he can play a part otherwise I wouldn't take him," Slot said Tuesday at a pre-game news conference. "We think we can get a performance out of him now, but not to start." Isak joined Liverpool in the offseason from Newcastle for a British-record fee for 125 million pounds ($170 million). Before the injury, however, he made a slow start, scoring three goals in 16 games overall after netting 62 in 109 matches for Newcastle. His return is also good news for Sweden, which hopes to pair him alongside ..
Football at its very best. That was Arne Slot's memory of Liverpool's richly entertaining meeting with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last season. OK, Liverpool ultimately went out, beaten at Anfield in a round-of-16 penalty shootout by the team that would go on to win the competition for the first time, but Slot loved the way his side played and still maintains it was "the best game I've managed in my career." They meet again almost 12 months on, with Liverpool - and Slot - in a very different place. Indeed, the Dutch coach appears to be fighting for his job heading into the upcoming quarterfinal doubleheader with the European champions that starts with the first leg in Paris on Wednesday. A 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday was Liverpool's latest poor result of a season that initially began with so much hope after the club's record summer splurge of $570 million on new players on the back of cruising to the Premier League title. With the Reds ha
