Paris Saint-Germain’s bruising 4-2 Champions League triumph over Barcelona has extracted a heavy toll on Luis Enrique’s frontline, with Ousmane Dembélé joining Khvicha Kvaratskhelia—who suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament—in the treatment room. The French winger was forced off after just 20 minutes at the Parc des Princes.

Early medical assessments indicate that the 29-year-old forward has sustained a hamstring injury. The precise nature and severity of the muscle damage are yet to be definitively established, with the player set to undergo comprehensive imaging scans over the coming days.

At this preliminary stage, Dembélé is expected to be sidelined for a handful of upcoming fixtures, though club medical staff have avoided placing a definitive timeline on his recovery. Any projected return will depend entirely on scan results and the grade of the tear.
