Dembélé Injury Leaves PSG Waiting on Diagnosis Before Champions League Final

Tests will determine whether he can play in the May 30 Champions League final.

Overview

  • Ousmane Dembélé left the Paris derby with a leg problem in the 27th minute, with Gonçalo Ramos coming on as he headed straight to the dressing room.
  • French outlet L'Équipe reported a muscle strain, while other reports pointed to muscle hardening or a calf issue, so the exact diagnosis remains unclear.
  • PSG coach Luis Enrique said Dembélé felt okay and hoped the issue was not serious, and he declined to give details until medical checks are complete.
  • The uncertainty puts his place in PSG's May 30 Champions League final against Arsenal at risk and also affects France's World Cup build-up.
  • Dembélé was recently voted Ligue 1 Player of the Year for a second straight season, underscoring how any absence would hit both club and country.
