Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé is set to receive treatment over the coming days after feeling discomfort in his right calf during Sunday’s 2-1 Ligue 1 defeat to Paris FC, the club confirmed, with the Champions League final against Arsenal looming in less than two weeks.

Calf issue after defeat

The 29-year-old Ballon d’Or winner was withdrawn “as a precaution” after reporting muscle discomfort, according to a medical update from PSG.

Coach Luis Enrique on the situation

Speaking to reporters after the match, PSG head coach Luis Enrique said there was “nothing to say about Ousmane for now,” adding that more information would be available the following day and that he believed it was likely only fatigue.

Final date and fitness uncertainty

PSG did not provide any indication on whether Dembélé would be considered a doubt for the Champions League final, which will mark the club’s second straight appearance in Europe’s showpiece match. The game is scheduled for May 30 in Budapest against Arsenal.
