Ousmane Dembele has officially spoken about his injury situation and confirmed that he is fully ready for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal.
Paris Saint-Germain experienced a "heart-stopping" moment ahead of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League final when Ousmane Dembele unexpectedly suffered an injury in the match against Paris FC. He had to leave the pitch mid-match after feeling pain in his leg, causing a wave of fears about his ability to play against Arsenal in Budapest on May 30th.
However, recently Dembele spoke out directly and brought great news to PSG: "I'm fine, much better than on Sunday. I was a bit worried, but the doctor said there's nothing to worry about. I just felt a little tightness in my calf and didn't want to take any risks. Yes, I will be there on the 30th, don't worry."
This statement helped the fans of the Parc des Princes side breathe a sigh of relief. With the Champions League final approaching, the French star's readiness to play is seen as a huge mental boost for "les Parisiens."
This season, Dembele has been one of the most important factors in coach Luis Enrique's tactical system. His speed, technique, and ability to create breakthroughs have helped PSG advance all the way to Budapest 2026. After years of being doubted due to injuries and inconsistency, the French striker has now become Enrique's top hope in attack.
