PSG Sweat Over Dembele Fitness Ahead Of Champions League Final Against Arsenal

French champions Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that forward Ousmane Dembele will continue treatment on a calf injury ahead of their UEFA Champions League final clash against Arsenal later this month, raising doubts over his availability for the biggest game of the season.

The Ligue 1 giants issued the update on Monday through an official statement on the club’s website following concerns over the condition of the France international after he limped off during PSG’s 2-1 league defeat to Paris FC at the weekend.

Dembele sustained the injury in the opening half of the encounter and was substituted after only 27 minutes, sparking fears among supporters and coaching staff ahead of the highly anticipated European final scheduled for May 30 in Budapest.

In the medical update released by the Parisians, the club confirmed that the former Barcelona winger “will remain under treatment for the next few days”, although no specific timeline was given regarding his return to action.

The development has become a major concern for manager Luis Enrique, who has relied heavily on Dembele throughout the campaign. The 29-year-old has been one of PSG’s most influential attacking players this season, contributing crucial goals and assists in both domestic and European competitions.

Dembele played a pivotal role in PSG’s journey to the Champions League final, helping the French side overcome difficult opponents in the knockout stages. His pace, creativity and ability to unsettle defenders have made him one of Arsenal’s biggest threats heading into the final.

PSG are chasing a historic European triumph as they seek to win the Champions League title for the first time in the club’s history. The French side previously reached the final in 2020 but lost to Bayern Munich.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be aiming to secure their maiden Champions League crown after an impressive campaign under Mikel Arteta.

With less than two weeks remaining before the final, PSG’s medical team faces a race against time to ensure Dembele regains full fitness. His possible absence would represent a significant blow to the French champions’ attacking plans against a confident Arsenal side.

Supporters of both clubs will now await further updates on the winger’s recovery as preparations intensify for the blockbuster final in Budapest.
