Paris Saint-Germain's Spanish coach Luis Enrique has ruled Ousmane Dembele out of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. According to French media RMC and L'Equipe, it is due to disciplinary reasons for a heated discussion between player and coach.
Dembele has been a key player for PSG at the start of the season, with eight goals in seven games, four goals and four assists that have earned him praise from his coach on several occasions.
Luis Enrique with this action sends the message that no player is above the club. It is not the first time that Dembele has been in the spotlight for disciplinary reasons, as he also had a few problems during his time at Barcelona.
The Parisians will take Vitinha, who has recovered from his right ankle, and Donnarumma on their trip to London. Barcola will be the main attacking reference against Arsenal, as PSG have injury problems. Marco Asensio, who was injured against Girona, has returned to training but it is uncertain whether he will be able to play against Mikel Arteta's side.
