Ousmane Dembele was reportedly left surprised by Luis Enrique's decision to name him on the bench for Paris Saint-Germain's clash with Monaco. Despite his unexpected omission, the forward maintains a strong relationship with his manager ahead of their upcoming Champions League fixture.
Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that star forward Ousmane Dembele will be given a brief period of rest to manage his heavy physical workload following a demanding summer. Consequently, the French international has been ruled out of the upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Lille before returning to full squad training next Monday morning in Paris.
