After delivering a stellar performance and scoring a crucial penalty in the 64th minute, the French winger was forced off the pitch in the 90th minute due to an apparent injury. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/b> kicking off in just two weeks, this late-game setback has triggered serious alarm bells for the French national team and fans worldwide.<\/p>\n

What Exactly Happened in the Final?<\/h2>\n

In the build-up to the highly anticipated clash, there were widespread rumors regarding a potential calf injury for Demb\u00e9l\u00e9. However, the player himself addressed the media before the match, firmly stating that he was “100% fit” and ready to play.<\/p>\n

He certainly backed up those words on the pitch against Arsenal, remaining a constant threat until the closing moments of regular time.

According to the latest reports from sports media outlets, the timing and nature of this injury have created a tense atmosphere within the French camp.<\/p>\n

The timing could not be worse. The World Cup is merely days away, and Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 is undeniably a cornerstone of head coach Didier Deschamps’ tactical setup.<\/p>\n
