The French international will be back to face Nice this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.) after being left out of the group for “disciplinary reasons”.
French striker Ousmane Dembélé, excluded from the group against Arsenal for disciplinary reasons, starts in attack with PSG against Nice on Sunday at the end of the 7th day of Ligue 1, according to the official composition of the two teams.
Sanctioned following a tense exchange with Luis Enrique after the victory against Rennes (3-1) in the championship, followed by a significant delay to a training session, the winger is lined up alongside his two teammates in French team, Bradley Barcola and Randal Kolo Muani. Luis Enrique, whose first disciplinary decision of this type since his arrival a year ago, had mentioned “a problem of commitment to the group”.

After apologizing to him, Ousmane Dembélé returned to training at the PSG Campus on Friday. His resumption was delayed by a day because the Frenchman suffered from angina on Thursday, the club explained.
