The 20-year-old, who was restored to the Gunners starting line-up after being an unused substitute in last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford, was replaced in the 77th minute by Granit Xhaka.

Edinson Cavani gave the reigning French champions the lead in the 18th minute for his fifth strike in the competition but Oliver Giroud leveled scores on the stroke of half time from the penalty spot after Alexis Sanchez was brought down by Grzegorz Krychowiak in the box.

An own goal by Marci Verratti in the 59th minute put Arsenal 2-1 up but Lucas Moura’s header with the slightest with an unfortunate touch from Iwobi handed the Parisians a valuable point from the game.
The draw saw PSG regain top spot in Group A with a superior head to head over Arsenal after five games.
In the other fixture in Group A, Ludogorets Razgrad played out a goalless draw at home to Basel.
