Ousmane Dembele has been dropped from the Paris Saint-Germain squad for the huge Champions League clash against Arsenal following a blazing row with head coach Luis Enrique.
The Gunners host the French champions at the Emirates in a true heavyweight clash on Tuesday night but PSG will be without the man widely regarded as their player of the season so far.
Dembele will not be part of the squad travelling to London on Monday. The decision is not related to an injury with L’Equipe reporting it follows a heating argument with Enrique following Friday’s 3-1 win over Rennes.
The decision will prompt Enrique into some big changes against Arsenal with Dembele one of his stand-out performers this season.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona star has four goals and four assists in six Ligue 1 appearances on the right of attack.
Dembele provided the assist for Bradley Barcola’s goal on Friday before being replaced in the 82nd minute with his row with Enrique said to have taken place after the game.
PSG opened their Champions League campaign with a 1-0 win over Spanish newcomers Girona earlier this month.
Arsenal meanwhile were held to a goalless draw away to Atalanta.
The Gunners rescued a 4-2 win over Leicester City on Saturday evening.
