Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembélé said on Thursday he has recovered from a minor injury scare and expects to be fit for the 2026 Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30.

“I had a little scare against Paris FC but I’m doing ok, and I’ll be fine for the Champions League final,” Dembélé told RMC Sport.

“I hope to be on the pitch on May 30, if the coach picks me.”

The France international — a Ballon d’Or winner and one of PSG’s most dangerous attackers — downplayed the incident, offering a measured response despite widespread anticipation that he would start.

His confirmation is a timely boost for PSG as they prepare to face Arsenal in the season’s showpiece match.

Coach selection and final fitness checks will determine whether Dembélé starts.
