Ousmane Dembele left PSG's match against Paris FC with a thigh issue. Initial reports suggest it's a precaution, but alarms sound just two weeks before the UCL final vs. Arsenal.

Big scare at PSG, two weeks before the Champions League final. Ousmane Dembele went out in the 27th minute of the match against Paris FC. The Ballon d'Or winner walked with the medical staff toward the tunnel and the locker room, being immediately replaced by Goncalo Ramos.

There is no doubt that Paris will be very attentive to the evolution of this injury, which seems, above all, a precautionary measure. But before the World Cup and the Champions League final, Luis Enrique and Didier Deschamps are keeping their fingers crossed that the former Barcelona player does not suffer a serious physical issue.

"According to initial reports, it is a simple precaution for Dembele, who went out in the 28th minute of play at Jean-Bouin. His fitness status will be monitored in the coming days," journalist Arthur Perrot wrote.

For his part, Football Transfers chief editor Robin Bairner wrote, "Dembele injury update: Initial indications are that the PSG striker was taken off as a precaution. More to follow in the coming days..."

Head coach Luis Enrique said that he has no information and that we have to wait until Monday. However, he made it clear that from his perspective, it is nothing serious.

"What is the news on Dembele? I have nothing to say about Ousmane; we will have to wait until tomorrow. I think it is fatigue. What we can talk about today are only assumptions. But I think it is not very serious, we will know more tomorrow," Enrique said.

According to Ligue 1+ and RMC, it was a precautionary measure taken due to tightness in the PSG striker's thigh. It would be a simple muscle tightness, with monitoring necessary in the coming days. But if the diagnosis is confirmed, it does not jeopardize his presence in the Champions League final against Arsenal.
