Paris St Germain's forward Ousmane Dembele faces uncertainty ahead of the upcoming Champions League final. The player suffered discomfort in his right calf during PSG's 2-1 defeat to Paris FC on Sunday, prompting precautionary removal from the field, as announced by the club on Monday.

Coach Luis Enrique shared limited information during a post-match press conference, indicating that the discomfort might merely be a result of fatigue. The club will provide a clearer update after further assessments are conducted.

With less than two weeks until the final against Arsenal in Budapest, PSG has not yet confirmed whether Dembele will be fit to participate in the crucial showdown, marking the club's second consecutive appearance in the prestigious tournament's final.
