PSG star Dembele on the bench for Arsenal clash after injury

Ousmane Dembele is among the substitutes for Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal on Wednesday despite being declared "ready" to play by his coach Luis Enrique.

The France forward scored the only goal as PSG beat Arsenal 1-0 in London in last week's first leg but later came off with a hamstring issue.

He played no part in PSG's 2-1 defeat at Strasbourg in Ligue 1 at the weekend but has since returned to training.

"He is ready but he is not starting the match," Luis Enrique told broadcaster Canal Plus.

Bradley Barcola therefore joins Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in PSG's attack in what is their only change compared to the first leg.

Meanwhile, Thomas Partey returns in midfield for Arsenal after missing last week's first leg due to suspension.

Mikel Merino therefore reverts to a role through the middle of the attack, with Leandro Trossard on the bench.

Jurrien Timber starts at right-back for the Gunners having been a pre-match fitness doubt.
