Ousmane Dembélé limped out of Paris Saint Germain's match against Paris FC on Sunday, May 17, in a major scare for club and country.
The reigning Ballon d'Or winner exited the pitch in the 27th minute and went straight down the tunnel, with Gonçalo Ramos replacing him.
Initial reports stated that the substitution was a precaution, but it will still be a concern with major matches to come for PSG and France.
Sunday's game against Paris FC was the Ligue 1 finale for PSG, which has already sealed the league title. But Luis Enrique's side will face Arsenal on May 30 in the Champions League final as it aims for back-to-back European titles.

Dembélé has again been excellent for PSG this season, tallying 18 goals and 11 assists in all competitions. He was recently named Ligue 1 Player of the Season for the second consecutive campaign.
Following the Champions League final, Dembélé is scheduled to join up with his France teammates ahead of the World Cup.
Les Bleus kick off their World Cup campaign on June 16 against Senegal in New Jersey, and will also face Iraq and Norway in Group I.
France has made back-to-back World Cup finals, defeating Croatia in 2018 before falling to Argentina on penalty kicks in 2022.
