Paris Saint-Germain superstar Ousmane Dembele punished Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final by scoring the winner against them in the fourth minute.
The PSG forward’s left-footed finish was a thing of beauty as David Raya had no chance of stopping the ball from nestling into the back of the net.
However, Arsenal fans would have been relieved when the Frenchman had to be taken off due to suffering an injury late into the game — considering he is Luis Enrique’s ultimate danger-man.
Ahead of Arsenal’s trip to the Parc des Princes in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, an update about Dembele’s injury has come to light.
Ousmane Dembele suffers hamstring injury ahead of PSG vs Arsenal
Without Ousmane Dembele, PSG will certainly be the underdogs going into their upcoming clash against Arsenal.
Journalist Fabrice Hawkins has now provided an update around Dembele’s injury ahead of PSG and Arsenal’s much-awaited fixture as only time will tell whether he will be fit to start.
Hawkins revealed: “Ousmane Dembele has a hamstring injury.”
“The development of the pain will need to be monitored in the coming days.”
How Mikel Arteta should react to Ousmane Dembele’s injury
Mikel Arteta could be relieved about the prospect of Dembele missing the second leg against Arsenal as he has the ability to put the tie beyond his side for PSG.
While questions might be asked about whether Arteta should favour a more attacking line-up in Paris, he should stick to his winning formula.
A potential front three of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue and Bradley Barcola remains deadly and could hurt Arsenal if they throw caution to the wind in the second leg.
