PSG's Mbappe, Neymar and Verratti to miss season opener against Lorient
Relations between Mbappe and the Ligue 1 champions have been tense since the forward said he would not renew his contract
Paris Saint-German (PSG) will miss their star trio of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Marco Verratti during their season opener against Lorient at home on Saturday.
The future of the trio in French club looks uncertain following their absence in today's contest.
Relations between Mbappe 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 French international was also left out of PSG's squad for their Asian pre-season tour last month.
Mbappe 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 Italian midfielder Verratti have been deemed surplus to requirements.
PSG said earlier this week that Neymar was suffering from a viral infection.
