Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), preparing to lock horns with Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final, is suffering a injury nightmare ahead of the critical clash. The situation of the club's two key players, Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi, has caused great anxiety within the technical staff.
The French giants, who have no other official matches left before the giant final to be played in Budapest, organized a serious 90-minute internal tactical training match at the Poissy facilities. The match was closed to the press but held in front of the passionate fan group to maintain the team's match rhythm. In this critical rehearsal, where around 1,000 ultra fans boosted morale with flares before the big final, eyes looked for the two star names who are currently injured.
French winger Ousmane Dembélé, who is still suffering from a muscle injury in his right calf, and Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi did not take part in this tactical training match. The fact that both players completed the day completely separate from the team, doing only individual field work, caused alarm bells to ring in the Paris camp. While the squad was split into black and white teams to compete, young players promoted from the academy also tried to fill the gaps.
According to leaks from the technical staff, Achraf Hakimi’s transition to individual work with the ball and his recovery graph draw a more promising picture for the final. On the other hand, it was learned that Ousmane Dembélé's situation is much more uncertain, and due to his inability to join team training, there are serious doubts about whether he can take his place in the starting XI for the big final. With days left before the historic showdown on May 30, the PSG medical staff is literally racing against time to get both players ready for the match.
