Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele has reportedly been left out of the squad that will take on Arsenal in the Champions League for disciplinary reasons.

PSG did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

According to L’Equipe, Enrique and Dembele verbally clashed after PSG’s 3-1 win against Rennes in the French league. Dembele delivered an assist during the match.

PSG is unbeaten in all competitions this season. It beat Girona in its Champions League opener earlier this month, while Arsenal drew 0-0 with Atalanta.
