Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele is a doubt for next week's Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal due to a hamstring injury.
The 27-year-old French international scored the only goal of the match in PSG's 1-0 victory at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
Dembele swept home Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's cutback in the fourth minute but was later forced off in the 70th minute with the injury.
The setback has created uncertainty over his availability for the crucial return fixture in Paris.

PSG manager Luis Enrique addressed the injury in his post-match press conference, confirming it wasn't a major concern.
"It isn't anything serious, it's quite a small thing but there is a doubt for the return leg," said the Spaniard.
"The medical tests will take place tomorrow [Wednesday]. It's nothing serious, it's rather light, but there is a doubt for the return match."
The tests were scheduled to determine the severity of Dembele's hamstring problem, with his status for next week's decisive fixture remaining uncertain.
Despite the uncertainty, Dembele himself appeared optimistic about his condition when questioned by reporters.
The star was asked about the injury as he was boarding the PSG bus after the match.
He offered a brief but reassuring response, insisting: "It's going to be fine."
Dembele has been in excellent goal-scoring form this season, netting 33 goals for the French champions.
His availability would be crucial for PSG as they look to protect their advantage and advance to the Champions League final.

"We're a real team. If Ousmane can play, that's good. If he doesn't, we'll see a team," the manager stated.
This confidence in his squad's depth comes as PSG currently have a completely clean injury record outside of Dembele's hamstring issue.
The French side will be hoping their match-winner recovers in time, with Enrique adding: "We're going to try to get Dembele back on the pitch."
