Enrique Delivers Update On Dembele’s Fitness After Early Substitution Against Paris FC

PSG centre-forward Ousmane Dembélé went off early on against Paris FC on Ligue 1’s final day with what looked like a thigh injury.

Dembélé’s fitness is matter for concern with PSG set to face Arsenal in the Champions League final on Saturday, May 30.

The Ligue 1 champions were looking to maintain momentum ahead of their UEFA Champions League final showdown with Arsenal, but the evening took a sour turn in the opening stages of the clash with Paris FC.

Despite the match having little riding on it in terms of league standings, the intensity of the derby resulted in a significant casualty for Luis Enrique’s side.

Dembélé, who has been instrumental for PSG once again this season, lasted less than 30 minutes on the pitch.

The winger was seen holding his leg before the decision was made to withdraw him from the action, with the 29-year-old heading straight down the tunnel for immediate medical assessment.

Facing the media after defeat to Paris FC win over the Ligue 1 champions, PSG head coach Enrique delivered an update on the France international, who has been called up by Les Bleus boss Didier Deschamps for the 2026 World Cup.

Enrique said that he had nothing to say regarding Dembélé’s fitness with further medical exams expected to take place on Monday.

“I think it’s just fatigue,” Enrique said in a press conference according to Get French Football News. “What we’re saying today is just speculation, but I don’t think it’s anything serious, and there are still two weeks left.”
