He is the last undesirable of the Parisian “loft” and has left to stay there if he can’t find a place to stay. Mauro Icardi is not part of PSG’s Galtier-Campos version plans and the club has proven it again by removing him from the list of 25 players selected to participate in the Champions League this season. Two days before the opening of the group stage, UEFA unveiled the squads of all participants on Sunday.
There are no surprises to report. Five goalkeepers are included, including Gianluigi Donnarumma and Keylor Navas, who ultimately chose to stay. All the recruits, from Mukiele to Fabian Ruiz via Soler, Vitinha, Ekitike and Sanches, are also part of it. To these 25 names may be added others among the nuggets of the training center. Christophe Galtier intends to give playing time this season to El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Warren Zaire-Emery, Ayman Kari and Ismaël Gharbi. These players may be integrated on the eve of each match depending on the needs and absences of the main squad.
PSG’s A list for the 2022/2023 group stage of the Champions League:
Guardians: Navas, Donnarumma, Rico, Letellier, Lavallée.
Defenders: Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Sergio Ramos, Mukiele, Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Bernat.
Environments : Verratti, Danilo, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Soler, Sanches.
Forwards: Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, Sarabia, Ekitike.
