Ousmane Dembélé clears doubts ahead of Champions League final with solo run
Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé, who pulled up with a right calf injury during the recent Ligue 1 clash against Paris FC (1-2, May 17), took to the pitch at Puskás Arena in Budapest on Friday for a private fitness test.
In a press briefing held earlier that afternoon, the 2025 Ballon d’Or recipient addressed concerns about his availability for the decisive showdown against Arsenal.
«I never feared missing this final,» he declared. «I’ve had two weeks to prepare. The medical staff managed the season perfectly. I’m at 100%, the team is ready, and we’ve approached this game with total confidence. We just hope everything goes well on the night.»
Minutes later, during training, Dembélé put his words into action. The French winger completed several sprints on the Puskás Arena turf while teammates worked on shooting drills. No adverse reactions were observed, and he seamlessly rejoined the session afterward.
