French winger Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 has confirmed that he is fit and ready to play in the UEFA Champions League final later this month after fears over his recent injury scare.<\/p>\n
The Paris Saint-Germain star suffered a minor concern during PSG\u2019s clash against Paris FC, which raised doubts over his availability for the biggest match of the season. However, Dembele has now eased those concerns with a positive update ahead of the final against Arsenal F.C. on May 30.<\/p>\n
Speaking about his condition, Dembele said: \u201cI\u2019m doing very well. I had little scare against Paris FC but I\u2019m doing ok. I\u2019ll be fine for the Champions League Final.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old also made it clear that he is hoping to start in the final if selected by PSG manager Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope to play\u2026 of course, if the coach picks me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Dembele\u2019s fitness comes as a massive boost for Paris Saint-Germain ahead of their showdown against Arsenal. The French international has been one of PSG\u2019s most dangerous attacking players this season with his pace, movement and creativity playing a key role in the club\u2019s European campaign.<\/p>\n
PSG will be aiming to win the UEFA Champions League trophy for the first time in the club\u2019s history, while Arsenal are looking to lift Europe\u2019s biggest prize after an impressive campaign under Mikel Arteta.<\/p>\n
The final is expected to be one of the biggest matches of the European football season, with both sides entering the game in strong form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
