PSG's Ousmane Dembélé Sidelined Before Champions League Final
Ousmane Dembélé of Paris Saint-Germain is sidelined with a minor muscle injury in his right calf. The injury comes twelve days before PSG's Champions League final against Arsenal.
The problem was identified during Sunday's Ligue 1 match against Paris FC, which PSG lost 2-1. Dembélé was withdrawn after roughly half an hour of play as a precaution. The club described the issue as a small muscle strain.
PSG announced that the player will remain under medical supervision for the next several days. The club said the monitoring is intended to ensure a safe recovery.
Dembélé, who recently won the Golden Ball award, is a key attacker for the French champions. His absence could affect PSG's attacking options ahead of the final.
The timing of the injury raises concerns for the team as they prepare for the decisive match. Coach Luis Enrique will need to adjust his tactics if Dembélé is unavailable.
PSG will reassess Dembélé's fitness in the days leading up to the final. A decision on his participation is expected before the match.
