PSG Confirms Calf Strain for Dembélé as Champions League Final Nears

PSG reports a right‑calf strain under treatment that puts his May 30 Champions League final status in doubt.

Overview

  • Dembélé left PSG’s match against Paris FC in the 27th minute Sunday with right‑calf discomfort and was replaced by Gonçalo Ramos.
  • PSG said Monday that he has a muscle strain in his right calf and will receive treatment for the next few days after a precautionary substitution.
  • Luis Enrique said it looked like fatigue, and early media assessments pointed to a simple strain, with further checks planned and no playing clearance yet.
  • The injury creates a tight timeline before the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30 in Budapest, with France also tracking his fitness before the June World Cup.
  • The Ballon d’Or winner has driven PSG’s European run this season, and his recent calf and thigh niggles plus managed minutes make this recovery window especially delicate.
