- PSG forward Ousmane Dembele is receiving treatment for a right calf muscle issue after being substituted early during the club's final Ligue 1 game on Sunday.
- The injury has raised concerns regarding Dembele's fitness for Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League final against Arsenal, scheduled for 30 May in Budapest, where he has been a crucial player.
- Initially, coach Luis Enrique stated the substitution was due to fatigue, but the club later clarified that Dembele was removed as a precaution due to discomfort.
- France's national team will be closely monitoring Dembele's condition, as he was named in Didier Deschamps’ squad and is anticipated to play a significant role in the upcoming World Cup.
- France, who won the World Cup in 2018 and were runners-up in 2022, are considered one of the favourites for the tournament and will commence their campaign against Senegal on 16 June.
