Luis Enrique Defends Dropping Ousmane Dembélé

Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Luis Enrique justified his decision to exclude Ousmane Dembele from the squad for their Champions League match against Arsenal, citing the player's lack of commitment to team obligations. Dembele, who has been a significant contributor this season with four goals and four assists, was left out after arriving late to training, leading to a disciplinary discussion between him and Enrique. The decision raised eyebrows as PSG suffered a 2-0 defeat, marking their first loss of the season, with Enrique taking full responsibility for the team's performance. Despite the setback, he expressed confidence in his squad's ability to rebound in Ligue 1 and emphasized the importance of discipline within the team. Dembele has since returned to training and may regain his place in the upcoming match against Nice, although tensions between the player and coach persist due to differing expectations.
