Paris Saint-Germain hold a 1-0 lead after the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, with Ousmane Dembele scoring the opening goal in the early stages of Tuesday’s match.

Yet the goalscorer may not be available for the second leg, having been substituted in the 70th minute with an injury.

Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport confirms that it’s a hamstring problem, and the development of the pain needs to be monitored over the coming days.

Speaking after the game, PSG boss Luis Enrique suggested the injury isn’t too bad, but it could still rule Dembele out of the second leg.

“I don’t know about Dembele,” Enrique told Canal+ (via @ArsenalBarclays). “The medical tests will be done tomorrow. It’s nothing serious, it’s rather minor, but there’s still some doubt for the return leg.

“We are a real team. If Ousmane can play, great. If not, we’ll still see a team.”

An injury to Dembele would make him the one potential absentee for PSG in the second leg.

Next week’s hosts have a completely clean injury record outside of this minor hamstring problem, so there are currently no doubts about any other player in the squad.
