Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembélé has not travelled to London for his team’s game against Arsenal in the Champions League after a row with head coach Luis Enrique, sources have confirmed to ESPN.
Dembélé has been dropped by Luis Enrique after the pair argued on Saturday, a day after their 3-1 win over Rennes. The club is in support of the coach’s decision, sources told ESPN.
France international Dembélé has made an excellent start to the Ligue 1 season, scoring four goals and providing four assists in six games with PSG top of the division.
Luis Enrique has previously emphasised the importance of discipline to his players. Last season, he chose to travel to Toulouse without Kylian Mbappé and Dembélé because they hadn’t worked enough in training.
Arsenal host PSG at the Emirates on Tuesday in the second round of the revamped Champions League league phase. PSG won their opener against Girona at home, while Arsenal were held to a goalless draw by Atalanta in Bergamo, Italy.
