As one of the highly anticipated Champions League fixture Arsenal vs PSG draws closer the official 22 man squad for the French Ligue 1 side has been confirmed in an official announcemnt ahead of kick-off on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has reportedly left Ousmane Dembele out of the squad for their Champions League match against Arsenal following a heated argument between the two.
Dembele has been in stellar form this season, scoring four goals and providing four assists in six Ligue 1 appearances, including setting up the first goal in PSG’s 3-1 win over Rennes on Friday, a club where he previously played.
According to reports after being substituted late in the match, Dembele became involved in a tense confrontation with Enrique and many believe this could be a factor that influenced him being dropped from the side that travelled to the North London side.
This decision leaves PSG without their second-highest contributor in both goals and assists has raised eyebrows with many paying close attention to see how things would eventually go on the field of play and if PSG can also perform in his absence.
On a positive note, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, and Desire Doue have all returned to the squad as PSG aim for a second Champions League victory, having won 1-0 against Girona in their opening match.
