Ousmane Dembélé

Dembele (calf) has further reinforced that he will be an option for Saturday's match against Arsenal, the player told M6, per Alex Young of the Standard. "I feel much better than on Sunday. I had a little scare, but the doctor told me there was nothing to worry about. I felt a slight discomfort, and I preferred not to take any risks. I will be back on the pitch on May 30."

Analysis: Dembele was already looking to be an option for Saturday, but has further reinforced his availability, as the forward once again told the media he would be fit. This is major news for the club as they look for a UCL repeat, as they may already be without other stars like Achraf Hakimi (thigh). More importantly, it will leave him fit for the World Cup, set to possibly be another few big months for Dembele.

Will be fit for final

Demebele (calf) is set to be fit for the May 30 UCL final against Arsenal, the player told media, per RMC Sport. "It's going very well. I had a little alert against Paris FC, but it's okay, and it will do it for the final. Yes, I think, [I will be fit for the final]."

Analysis: Dembele had an injury scare in PSG's season finale but appears to only be dealing with a minor injury, as the forward is set to return for the UCL final in just over a week. This is major news for the attacker as PSG battles for a second straight UCL title, plus he is trying to remain fit ahead of the 2026 World Cup with France. If he can keep fit and suffer no setbacks, he will be tasked with leading the attack as they attempt to take down the Gunners.
