Lee Kang-in has been on the starting list for three consecutive games following the last match against Reims and Stade Rennes. Lee Kang-in, who showed his best performance this season and was also noticeable within PSG, started on the bench in the first round of the UCL against Girona, but was included in the selection in this game. Considering Lee Kang-in's outstanding performance and scoring in the previous game, it is a natural choice for head coach Luis Enrique.
Ahead of the game, the possibility of Lee Kang-in starting was raised. It is the exclusion of Usman Dembele's London away list. France's RMC Sports did not include Usman Dembele in the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) squad who went on an away trip to London today for the Champions League match against Arsenal.
Enrique's choice is his own choice,' he said, adding that Dembele will not play in the match against Arsenal.
Dembele is said to have not been included in the list due to a reprimand after an altercation with Enrique. However, Enlige denied this and pointed out that it was a matter of commitment within the team. Lee Kang-in will be included in the starting list while Dembele is out and will play his first UCL start of the season.
