PARIS, May ⁠18 (Reuters) - Paris St Germain forward ⁠Ousmane Dembele will undergo treatment ‌over the next few days after suffering discomfort in his right calf during ​Sunday's 2-1 Ligue 1 ⁠defeat by Paris ⁠FC, the club said on Monday, ⁠less ‌than two weeks before the Champions League final ⁠against Arsenal.

The 29-year-old Ballon d'Or winner ​was ‌taken off "as a precaution" after feeling ⁠muscle ​discomfort, PSG said in a medical update.

"Nothing to say about Ousmane ⁠for now. We will ​know more tomorrow, but I think it's only fatigue," coach Luis Enrique ⁠told reporters after the match.

PSG did not say if Dembele was a doubt for the Champions ​League final, which ⁠will be the club's second successive ​appearance in Europe's ‌showpiece match, on May ​30 in Budapest.
