Paris Saint-Germain received worrisome news just days before their UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30 at Puskás Arena in Budapest. Key players Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi are dealing with injuries and their availability for the crucial match remains uncertain.

PSG Hopes for Last-Minute Recoveries

The situation is not yet final, but the signs are mixed. Achraf Hakimi has a better chance of recovering in time and could potentially start in the final, depending on his progress in the coming days. In contrast, the medical staff remains more cautious about Ousmane Dembele, and his participation on the field remains in doubt, according to French media.

PSG has made it to the final of the Champions League after a tough semifinal victory over Bayern Munich with a 6-5 aggregate score. Meanwhile, Arsenal is returning to the Champions League final after nearly two decades, having eliminated Atletico Madrid with a 2-1 aggregate score.

The season statistics for the injured players are as follows:

  • Achraf Hakimi: 31 appearances, 3 goals, 9 assists
  • Ousmane Dembele: 39 appearances, 19 goals, 11 assists

Arsenal and the "Trojan Horse" PSG

Before the final, statistics reveal an interesting detail: Arsenal has lost only two of their last 24 Champions League matches, with both losses coming against PSG. The Parisians triumphed 1-0 in London and 2-1 at home in the semifinals of the previous season, marking the only victories PSG has ever achieved against Arsenal in the Champions League.

So far, the two clubs have met five times in competition. PSG has two victories, Arsenal one, and the other two matches ended in draws.
