Paris Saint-Germain have been hit by a fitness scare involving Ousmane Dembélé only days before the Champions League final against Arsenal. The French winger started Sunday's Ligue 1 season finale against Paris FC but did not make it past the half-hour mark.

According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Dembélé felt muscle pain in his left leg and was substituted in the 27th minute. Head coach Luis Enrique immediately brought on Gonçalo Ramos to replace him. The 28-year-old walked straight to the dressing room without limping, offering a glimmer of reassurance to the medical staff.

PSG had already secured the Ligue 1 title before the match, making the fixture a low-stakes affair. The real test comes on May 30 in Hungary, where the Parisian side will face Arsenal in the European final. Dembélé's condition will be closely monitored over the coming days as the club hopes to have him available for the showpiece event.
