PSG, who were beaten by Paris FC – their arch-rivals – lost something far more important. Dembélé was forced off the pitch in the 27th minute due to injury, and there are concerns over his fitness ahead of the Champions League final.
There is concern at PSG with less than two weeks to go before the Champions League final. Dembele, one of their key players, was forced to leave the match against Paris FC early due to injury. A muscle problem saw him substituted after 27 minutes, with Goncalo Ramos coming on in his place.
‘El Mosquito’ started the match, which was of little consequence, and paid a heavy price for it. At one point, the Ballon d’Or winner clutched his left leg and Luis Enrique acted immediately. It was the right decision, as the situation could have escalated.
The Asturian manager, speaking to the media after the defeat to their arch-rivals (2-1), openly stated that “he’s fine” and that he is confident it “isn’t anything serious”. On the horizon is the Champions League final against Arsenal in Budapest.
Dembele is one of PSG’s in-form players. The Frenchman has scored 19 goals and provided 11 assists in 38 matches. These statistics show that he is a key player for the Parisians.
