Luis Enrique is looking to retain the Champions League with PSG
Luis Enrique has revealed PSG have no fresh injury concerns ahead of facing Arsenal in the Champions League final.
Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are both in line to feature against the Gunners after clearing key hurdles in their recovery programme.
Hakimi picked up a hamstring problem in the semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich while left-back Mendes has been nursing a dead leg.
Enrique has now confirmed both are ready to play in Budapest, stating: "Hakimi and Nuno [Mendes] are okay, they are able to play tomorrow."

Ousmane Dembele has also confirmed he's ready to start after overcoming a recent calf injury picked up in the club's final Ligue 1 fixture at Paris FC.
He told reporters in Hungary: "No, I wasn't scared about missing the final. I stopped when I felt the niggle, and I had 10-15 days to get ready for the final. I am 100 per cent ready and raring to go."
Meanwhile, boss Enrique is under no illusions that it will be a tough game as PSG try to defend their European crown.
He said of the Gunners: “Facing Arsenal in the final? It’s hard to know what the key moment of the match will be. It’s clear that there are very small differences between the two teams.
"The fine margins could become a real factor, we’re resilient, we know how to overcome problems and play in any scenario. We will make the most of the final with no fear and we’ll try to play at our best.”

Ballon d'Or winner Dembele was also full of praise for Arsenal, who he scored against in the Champions League semi-finals last season.
He said of Mikel Arteta's men: "Arsenal are a very good team, we’ve seen them winning the Premier League. They finished top of the Champions League phase, they have done very well and they deserve to be in the final. They play really good football and they excel in every area whether in defence or attack.”
Many are billing this match as PSG's attack against Arsenal's defence. The Premier League champions have kept 33 clean sheets in all competitions, which is more than any other side in Europe's top-five leagues.
PSG have had just under two weeks to prepare for this fixture while Arsenal were in action last Sunday when they lifted the Premier League at Crystal Palace.
