Arsenal handed huge potential boost for Champions League final after PSG star suffers injury scare

Arsenal have been handed a huge potential boost ahead of the upcoming Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

It is set to be an enormous couple of weeks for Mikel Arteta's side as they look to wrap up the Premier League title, before they face the French champions in Budapest.

PSG are the current holders of the top prize in European football after they thrashed Inter Milan in the final last year, and they possess a squad packed full of elite talent.

There are none more talented than Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who has finally fulfilled the enormous potential he showed in his early career.

The 29-year-old has netted 19 goals and notched 11 assists in all competitions this season and will form a key part of the France squad at the World Cup this summer.

However, his place in the Champions League final could be at risk after he suffered an injury scare less than a fortnight before the showpiece final.

PSG suffer Dembele injury scare

Dembele could be at risk of missing the Champions League final after he was forced off with an injury just 27 minutes into PSG's clash with Paris FC on the final day of the Ligue 1 season.

The France international was withdrawn with some early discomfort and headed straight down the tunnel for treatment after he had been replaced by striker Goncalo Ramos.

Although the initial prognosis is that Dembele did not suffer a major injury, the true extent of his issue should become clearer in the coming days.

Taking to social media shortly after full-time, journalist Fabrice Hawkins wrote: "This is simply a precaution following an alert for Ousmane Dembélé, who was substituted in the 28th minute of the match against Paris FC, two weeks before the Champions League final. Situation to be monitored in the coming days."

Dembele was recently named Ligue 1 Player of the Season for the second consecutive campaign and will do all he can to ensure he is fit enough to face Arsenal later this month.

Luis Enrique's side does not play again before the Champions League final on Saturday, 30 May, while Arsenal face both Burnley and Crystal Palace in the Premier League before the showpiece event.

Arsenal could wrap up the English title in midweek if Man City drop points to Bournemouth, which would allow Mikel Arteta to make wholesale changes to his side on the final day of the season.
