Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) confronts a significant challenge ahead of their UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal, scheduled for Wednesday at Parc des Princes. The French club’s forward, Ousmane Dembele, sustained a hamstring injury during the first leg, casting uncertainty over his availability for the crucial match.
Dembele, who netted the decisive goal in PSG’s 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium, was substituted in the 70th minute after experiencing discomfort. Subsequent medical evaluations confirmed a strain in his right hamstring. PSG’s official statement indicated that his condition is “progressing well,” with further assessments planned in the coming days .
Manager Luis Enrique acknowledged the injury’s impact, stating, “It’s nothing serious, it’s quite minor, but there is a doubt for the return match.” Dembele has been excused from PSG’s upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Strasbourg to focus on recovery, with hopes of returning for the Champions League encounter .
Despite the setback, PSG remains optimistic about Dembele’s participation. Sources suggest that he is undergoing rehabilitation with the medical staff and is hopeful of being match-fit for the second leg .(ESPN.com)
