Arsenal-PSG: "He said it was going to be okay," "a doubt for the return match"... What about Dembélé's injury?

Will he play or not? Until now, PSG had been spared injuries. In fact, Luis Enrique didn't have a single absentee to complain about before Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Arsenal ( 1-0 victory ) at the Emirates Stadium. At least not until the 70th minute. As reported by RMC radio, talk quickly surfaced of a hamstring injury for the only goal scorer in the match. However, the player celebrated the victory with his teammates on the pitch after the final whistle, wearing flip-flops and all smiles. "I haven't spoken to him yet, but I think he's okay. He's tired, he's played a lot of matches. He'll recover, and I think he'll be fine for the return leg," Nuno Mendes said in the mixed zone , without having any first-hand information on the matter.

What about Luis Enrique? "Any news? No, I don't have any. There will be tests tomorrow (Wednesday) and we'll give you the information. There's a doubt for the return match but it's not serious," declared the Parisian coach at a press conference . Rather reassuring given the current state of affairs. Achraf Hakimi, for his part, had some even fresher news. In any case, he gave the feelings of the main person concerned: "I spoke with him. He's calm, he said he's fine. I hope he'll be with us in the next match." We're not taking too much of a risk in saying that Dembélé shouldn't play against Strasbourg on Saturday, for a league match with no stakes. For the rest, suspense.
