I know I’m a strong guy but what the doctor told me today concerning my injury made me to tears, my unavailability against Arsenal will cost my team so much,I can’t bear this pain anymore because this has always been our dream”, Ousmane Dembele reveals what the doctor told Him today ahead of their return leg against Arsenal next week

Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembélé has delivered heartbreaking news to fans and teammates ahead of next week’s decisive UEFA Champions League return leg against Arsenal. Speaking in a somber press conference earlier today, the French international revealed the emotional toll of a fresh injury setback that will sideline him for the crucial encounter at the Emirates Stadium.

Dembélé, who has been one of PSG’s standout performers this season, did not hold back his emotions as he disclosed the conversation he had with the club’s medical team.

“I know I’m a strong guy, but what the doctor told me today concerning my injury made me burst into tears,” Dembélé admitted. “My unavailability against Arsenal will cost my team so much. I can’t bear this pain anymore because this has always been our dream.”

The 26-year-old winger had been nursing a muscle concern after PSG’s recent Ligue 1 fixture, but there was hope within the camp that he would recover in time for the high-stakes second leg in London. However, after undergoing medical tests earlier today, the diagnosis was worse than expected, ruling him out of one of the biggest nights of the season for the Parisians.

Dembélé’s absence is a huge blow for Luis Enrique’s side, especially after his electric performance in the first leg at Parc des Princes, where he was instrumental in PSG’s attacking play and even found the back of the net.

The winger went on to express the depth of his frustration at missing a match that could define PSG’s European ambitions this season.

“We’ve been fighting for this moment since the start of the campaign. It’s not just a game — it’s our dream. And not being able to be there for my brothers on the pitch breaks my heart,” Dembélé continued, his voice heavy with emotion.

Luis Enrique, addressing the media shortly after, described the injury as a “significant loss” but urged his squad to rally together for Dembélé and the club.

“It’s devastating for Ousmane and for us,” the PSG coach said. “He’s a fighter, and I have no doubt he’ll come back stronger. Now, it’s time for others to step up and honor the fight he’s given for us all season.”

As PSG prepare to travel to North London without one of their brightest stars, the team faces the difficult task of overturning a narrow deficit against an in-form Arsenal side.

Fans across France and Europe have since flooded social media with messages of support for Dembélé, hoping to see him return in time for the latter stages of the competition should PSG advance.
