Paris Saint-Germain are set to welcome back their star winger after he was shockingly left out of the squad for their UEFA Champions League fixture with Arsenal.
On Tuesday, Ousmane Dembélé’s (27) absence was felt as the reigning Ligue 1 champions suffered a 2-0 defeat against the Gunners.
According to L’Équipe, PSG manager Luis Enrique and the 2018 World Cup winner got into an argument following their 3-1 victory over Stade Rennais, and the Spaniard took exception to the criticism thrown his way.
Enrique inserted Désiré Doué (19) in his place, but he was ineffective and was eventually taken off just beyond the hour mark.
Dembélé is off to a great start domestically this season, scoring four goals, one more than he managed in Ligue 1 a season ago.
Foot Mercato report that the former Barcelona winger apologised to Luis Enrique, and things have been resolved, with Dembélé expected to return to the pitch this weekend.
Les Parisiens travel to the South of France for a date with OGC Nice on Sunday at Allianz Rivera.
PSG and AS Monaco are the only two unbeaten teams in the French top-flight this season, and the two are tied in first place in the league with 16 points.
