Ousmane Dembélé Plays Down Hamstring Injury After Limping Off in UCL Semi-Final Win Over Arsenal

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé has shared an update regarding his hamstring injury, which he sustained during the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Arsenal.

Dembélé, who scored the only goal in PSG's 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium, was forced off in the 70th minute after showing signs of discomfort. PSG manager Luis Enrique described the injury as “nothing serious,” although he admitted that Dembélé is “probably a doubt for the second leg” scheduled for May 7 at Parc des Princes.

The winger himself tried to calm concerns, saying, “I felt a little something, but it’s OK.” While medical tests are expected to determine the severity of the issue, the initial outlook appears positive. However, his availability for the crucial return leg remains uncertain.

Luis Enrique highlighted the squad’s depth and expressed confidence in PSG’s ability to cope, whether or not Dembélé is fit to play. The second leg is set to take place on Wednesday, May 7, with Arsenal needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit to progress to the final.
