PSG Face Double Injury Blow Ahead of Champions League Showdown with Arsenal

Paris Saint-Germain’s preparations for their crucial Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Arsenal have been rocked by a fresh injury setback, with Lee Kang-in now emerging as a major doubt following their 2-1 loss to Strasbourg on Saturday.

The South Korean midfielder was forced off at half-time after suffering a shin injury, and was later spotted limping heavily and needing assistance to reach the team bus, as reported by Le Parisien. His potential absence adds to PSG’s growing injury concerns after it was confirmed that Ousmane Dembélé—the hero of their 1-0 first-leg win—had sustained a hamstring injury in that same midweek fixture.

🚑 Injury Concerns Ahead of Arsenal Clash

PSG manager Luis Enrique opted to heavily rotate his squad against Strasbourg, making 10 changes from the side that edged Arsenal at the Emirates. While the risk was aimed at preserving key players, it may have backfired as Lee’s setback comes at a pivotal moment in their European campaign.

With Dembele unlikely to be fit and Lee Kang-in doubtful, PSG’s attacking options may look stretched ahead of Arsenal’s trip to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

💬 Opinion: Advantage Arsenal?

While PSG hold a narrow lead, these injuries could shift momentum in Arsenal’s favour. Mikel Arteta now has the tactical opportunity to exploit a weakened PSG midfield and wing play, especially if both Dembele and Lee are sidelined.

The Gunners will need to be clinical and composed under pressure, but the injury bug biting at PSG’s squad might just be the opening Arsenal needs to stage a memorable European comeback.
