Dembélé Reassures Fans About Injury After Crucial Goal in PSG’s Champions League Clash

Paris Saint-Germain’s star forward Ousmane Dembélé has provided an update on the hamstring injury he sustained during his team’s 1-0 triumph over Arsenal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

The 27-year-old French international netted the match’s only goal early in the game, converting a pass from teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, Dembélé’s celebration was cut short when he was forced to leave the field in the 70th minute due to a hamstring issue.

PSG manager Luis Enrique attempted to allay fears in the post-match press conference, stating, “The injury doesn’t appear to be severe, but there is some uncertainty regarding his availability for the return leg.” This sentiment was echoed by Dembélé himself, who briefly spoke to reporters as he departed the stadium, saying, “I felt a slight discomfort, but it’s not serious. I should be fine.”

The injury comes at a crucial time for Dembélé, who has been in exceptional form this season, having scored an impressive 33 goals. Fans and team officials alike will be anxiously awaiting further updates on his condition as the second leg of the semi-final approaches.
