Franco-Malian star Ousmane Dembele out of Champions League clash against Monaco

Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed their squad for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off against AS Monaco, with Franco-Malian star Ousmane Dembele omitted from the team.

Dembélé has been left out of the squad for the high-stakes clash due to an injury setback, depriving PSG of one of their most dynamic wingers.

The first leg between PSG and Monaco set the stage for an intense return fixture, and the absence of Dembélé is a significant blow.

The French international’s pace, dribbling ability, and creativity on the flank have been vital to PSG’s attacking threat this season.

His absence means the team will have to adjust its attacking strategies and rely on other forwards and midfielders to fill the void.

As the Champions League return leg approaches, both clubs are strategizing carefully: PSG will need to adapt without some of their star players, while Monaco could see Pogba rejoining the ranks, setting the stage for a tense, high-stakes clash at the pinnacle of European football.
