Ousmane Dembele will not face Arsenal with Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday after the France international and head coach Luis Enrique disagreed after the Ligue 1 leaders' 3-1 home win over Stade Rennais last Friday.

Luis Enrique dropped Ousmane Dembélé from the PSG squad facing Arsenal on Tuesday. The French international was Ligue 1’s best assist-maker in his debut season with the Parisians. He also started the new campaign on a scintillating form as he already scored more goals than last season.

Ousmane Dembele has been axed by Enrique for PSG’s encounter with Arsenal, a decision that caught Arteta by surprise as he faced the media earlier today. Widespread reports in France claimed Enrique and Dembele were involved in a heated altercation following the side’s 3-1 victory over Rennes last Friday.
