Dembele Says He Expects to Be Fit for Champions League Final Against Arsenal

PSG will closely monitor his recovery before the May 30 match at the Puskás Arena because the time to recover from a right‑calf complaint is short.

Overview

  • The Ballon d’Or winner was substituted early in PSG’s final Ligue 1 game after feeling right‑calf discomfort and has described that exit as a precautionary move.
  • Dembele told French media his doctor said the problem was not serious and he expects to be available for the Champions League final on May 30.
  • PSG manager Luis Enrique said the coaching staff will mix rest, light training and intra‑squad work in the coming days to manage players’ workloads.
  • Training footage and club reports show PSG rehearsing specific goalkeeper and defensive drills to limit Arsenal’s well‑documented threat from set pieces.
  • Despite present optimism, Dembele’s season‑long history of calf issues and the short recovery window mean selection, minutes and tactical plans will be treated as provisional.
