Ousmane Dembele is struggling with a calf injury just 12 days out from Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League final against Arsenal.
The current Ballon d’Or holder limped out of PSG’s game at Paris FC last night after 27 minutes, sparking concern at the European champions.
PSG boss Luis Enrique said after the game that he was confident it was nothing serious and could just be fatigue.
A club statement today failed to offer much clarity but did confirm the France striker was struggling.
It read: “Having been taken off as a precaution after experiencing some discomfort in his right calf against Paris FC yesterday evening, Ousmane Dembélé will remain on the treatment table over the next few days.”
Potential Dembele absence a major boost for Arsenal
Although PSG’s squad is stacked with talent, it would be a major boost for Arsenal if the former Barcelona man was ruled out.
Dembele has suffered from niggling injuries throughout his career. He sustained a left calf injury in November that kept him out for two games. He experienced a reoccurrence in February but overcome that to produce some sparkling performances as the Parisians surged into the final, and retained the Ligue 1 title.
