Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Marco Verratti have been left out of the Paris Saint-Germain squad for Saturday’s season-opening home match against Lorient, with the trio’s future at the club uncertain.
Relations between Mbappé and the Ligue 1 champions have been tense since the forward said he would not renew his contract which expires at the end of the 2023-24 season.
The France international was also left out of PSG’s squad for their preseason tour last month.
Mbappé is among a number of players tipped to leave the Parc des Princes in the transfer window, which closes on Sept. 1, with French media reporting that record signing Neymar and midfielder Verratti are also surplus to requirements.
PSG said earlier this week that Neymar was suffering from a viral infection.
