Paris Saint-Germain Clarifies Dembele's Injury Status Ahead of Champions League Final

French club Paris Saint-Germain has announced that player Ousmane Dembélé has been diagnosed with a slight muscle contraction in his right calf. The club stated in a medical report that the injury sustained by the 29-year-old player will not prevent him from participating in the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal, scheduled for May 30 in the Hungarian capital, Budapest.

This diagnosis follows the French international's early departure from the field during Sunday's match against Paris FC. Dembélé was forced to leave the game after just 27 minutes of play, experiencing muscle pain in his right leg, which had raised questions about his physical readiness for the team's remaining continental commitments this season.

The medical update issued by the club on Monday confirmed that the injury is minor and requires the player to undergo medical care for a few days. In this regard, Paris Saint-Germain stated in its communiqué: “Ousmane Dembélé was withdrawn as a precautionary measure during yesterday's match against Paris FC due to muscle discomfort in his right calf and will remain under care in the coming days.” This statement reinforces the likelihood of his presence in the team's starting lineup for the final.

Amidst these medical developments, the Parisian team is striving to ensure the full readiness of its players before traveling to Budapest. Despite the club's 2-1 loss to Paris FC, the utmost priority remains securing Dembélé's participation in the decisive encounter against English side Arsenal to achieve this season's continental aspirations.
