Ousmane Dembélé has publicly stated his confidence in being fit for Paris Saint-Germain's upcoming Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30th. The declaration comes in the wake of a calf issue that led to his premature departure from PSG's match against Paris FC a few days prior.
Dembele's direct assurance, delivered recently, aims to quell anxieties surrounding his availability for the crucial fixture. He indicated, "Ça va le faire, je n'ai pas de doute" (It's going to be alright, I have no doubts), and expressed hope of being on the field. The player described the incident as a "small alert" and emphasized his decision to leave the field as a precautionary measure, citing a desire not to risk further injury given his history of physical setbacks.
The forward's status had become a point of concern after he was substituted in the 30th minute of the PSG vs. Paris FC game, apparently due to a muscular discomfort in his right calf. The club had confirmed he would undergo treatment in the subsequent days.

Beyond the immediate concern for the final, Dembélé also touched upon his future at the club. He reportedly confirmed his intention to remain with PSG for "100% next season," citing his existing contract. The player expressed feeling "very good" within the club, with the staff, players, and president, and highlighted his productive relationship with coach Luis Enrique, under whom he feels his game has flourished. He also conveyed a persistent ambition for winning titles.
The final, scheduled for May 30th in Budapest, sees PSG facing an Arsenal side that has recently secured the Premier League title. Dembélé's participation is seen as vital for PSG's aspirations in the competition. His own performances have been noted as significant, contributing to individual accolades last season.
