Left out of PSG Champions League squad - Hugo Ekitike and Verratti won't face Newcastle United
and Marco Verratti have both been left out of Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for the Champions League group stages, according to RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins.
PSG were furious with Ekitiké on transfer deadline day, according to L’Équipe. The former Stade de Reims forward repeatedly rejected a move to Eintracht Frankfurt, which at the time, looked to have made Randal Kolo Muani’s move to the Parc des Princes. Ultimately, the former FC Nantes striker did join Les Parisiens, albeit for an increased fee.
Within this context, Hugo Ekitike has not been included in PSG’s squad for the Champions League group stages. Verratti is also absent from that list, which has been communicated to UEFA. The Italian veteran midfielder was expected to leave the club after being told that he was also surplus to requirements. He may yet move. Verratti is most strongly linked with Al-Arabi, and the Qatari transfer window remains open until 18th September.
Keylor Navas, who was also expected to leave PSG, has been included in the squad, as has Presnel Kimpembe, who is working his way back to fitness following a long-term injury.’
