Paris Saint-Germain's top scoring forward is a doubt for the Champions League semi-final second leg clash against Arsenal.

Dembele's injury

The winger was substituted in the 70th minute of the match and replaced by Bradley Barcola. The substitution was forced by an injury, leading to fears that Dembele could miss the second leg.

Fabrizio Romano reported today that the France international has been diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right thigh. The club said the situation is evolving and progressing favourably, and his return would be determined by the evolution of the injury.

Dembele vs Arsenal

Paris Saint-Germain play Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League on Wednesday, and Dembele's availability is currently in doubt. 

The 27-year-old has scored an incredible 33 goals this season, including the winner against Arsenal last Tuesday. He has assisted another 12, underlining his importance in Luis Enrique's set-up.
