Verratti and Ekitike excluded from PSG’s Champions League squad

PSG has submitted its list of registered players for this season’s UEFA Champions League campaign, and according to RMC Sport, Hugo Ekitike and Marco Verratti are not on the list.

According to RMC Sport, Hugo Ekitike and Marco Verratti have not been included in PSG’s list for the upcoming Champions League. However, Presnel Kimpembe and Keylor Navas are included.

In accordance with UEFA rules, clubs are allowed to register a maximum of 25 players for the group stage. Before the round of 16, teams have the option to add up to three new players to this list, provided they do not exceed the total of 25 players.

PSG’s exclusion of Hugo Ekitike could be a result of his reported refusal to be part of the deal for Randal Kolo Muani. Marco Verratti, on the other hand, may not have the confidence of PSG coach Luis Enrique, who reportedly told the player that he would not play this season if he remained at PSG.
