Less than a week before the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal, Ousmane Dembele went off injured last Sunday against Paris FC and did not participate in Saturday's preparation match. But the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner was very reassuring.
Besides Achraf Hakimi, who is not expected to start the Champions League final next Saturday in Budapest, PSG supporters are also worried about Dembele.

The PSG attacker left his teammates after 30 minutes of play during the last Ligue 1 matchday, and since then he has not yet returned to collective training.
Obviously, if Dembele were to be absent against Arsenal, it would be a huge blow for Luis Enrique, but that is not the trend at all.
A guest on M6, which will broadcast the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal in France, the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner wanted to send a very positive signal regarding this top-of-the-table clash against the Gunners.
Facing Anne-Sophie Lapix, Dembele did not hesitate when asked about his presence against Mikel Arteta's team.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm much better than on Sunday. I had a little scare, but there's nothing to worry about. The doctor told me I had a little tightness in my calf, and I didn't want to take any risks. Yes, I will be there on May 30 for the final, don't worry. I will be there, I will be there," explained Dembele with a big smile.
Asked about his career, marked by numerous injuries, particularly at Barcelona, the PSG attacker explains that he has put everything in place to avoid ruining his life at PSG.
"Now at PSG, I try to manage all that. Last season I was very lucky. I didn't have many injuries. Injuries are part of a footballer's career. We try to avoid them by working and paying attention to just about everything. It's something I take rather serenely," said the PSG and France national team star.
This is a big boost for PSG ahead of the Champions League final. As mentioned above, the latest reports suggest Hakimi could be absent, so Dembele's presence carries even greater weight.
Arsenal's William Saliba Sends Brutal Warning to PSGWilliam Saliba says PSG 'were afraid last year and are still afraid this year' ahead of the Champions League final. The Arsenal defender is confident his team can neutralize Paris' attack.It is true that this season the Frenchman had more injuries than in the previous campaign and, therefore, was not present at every necessary moment in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. But, at least in the second half of the season, Dembele has once again become key for Enrique and his team.
