Ousmane Dembele is adamant that he will be fully fit to play in the Champions League final against Arsenal after having an injury scare.
Dembele suffered a calf injury during Paris Saint-Germain’s final Ligue 1 match of the season and left many wondering whether he would make the European Cup final.
😬 Which PSG player worries you the most for the Champions League final?
The 29-year-old is going to be one of the key players in the Champions League final against the Gunners, and losing him would have been catastrophic for the French champions.
However, the winger has been speaking about his injury and revealed that he has been told not to worry about it being serious.
Ousmane Dembele has been told his injury is fine
Ousmane Dembele has been informed by his doctor that his calf injury is nothing serious and he will be available for the Champions League final.
PSG revealed that Dembele’s injury will be closely monitored over the coming days, but it appears as though he will be fit to play against the Gunners.
Speaking to M6, Dembele said: “I’m fine, much better. I had a minor scare, but there’s nothing to worry about, the doctor told me.
“It’s my calf. I had a little pain, and I would have preferred not to take any risks. Yes, I’ll be there on the 30th, don’t worry. Yes, yes, I’ll be there, I’ll be there.”
The Ballon d’Or winner missed PSG training on Wednesday afternoon, so it could be interesting to see what condition he arrives in for the final.
🙏 Which Arsenal player would you most like to see score the winning goal in the UCL final?
Arsenal faced Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals, with Julian Alvarez also struggling with an injury, and that hugely benefited the Gunners’ defence.
Now, they could be about to face a PSG side with Dembele not in full condition for the final on May 30.
Achraf Hakimi was also missing from training on Wednesday, but he is also expected to be ready for the final.
