Dembele has been one of PSG\u2019s most important players this season, and any serious setback before the final could have been a huge blow for Luis Enrique\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to reports from RMC Sport and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, PSG\u2019s medical staff currently believe the injury is not serious. The club reportedly sees the substitution as a precautionary step rather than a major issue. Further medical tests are expected to take place in the coming days to fully confirm the extent of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Paris FC defeated PSG by 2-1 and this is also concerning for Luis Enrique and the team. Dembele\u2019s situation will now be closely monitored as PSG prepare for one of the biggest matches in the club\u2019s history.
