Dembele Starts on Bench for PSG vs Arsenal, Partey Returns

Ousmane Dembele will start the game on the bench as Paris Saint-Germain hosts Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal tonight.

The French winger — who scored the winning goal in PSG’s 1-0 victory at Emirates Stadium last week — suffered a muscle injury during that match. Although his participation was in doubt, coach Luis Enrique has included him on the substitutes’ bench.

On the other hand, Thomas Partey will return to Arsenal’s starting XI after missing the first leg due to suspension. His presence in midfield is eagerly awaited by Mikel Arteta, who struggled to control the midfield in the previous match.
