Luis Enrique’s frosty reply as PSG omit Liverpool-linked pair

According to Mirror Football, Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique left Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye out of his squad for Sunday’s Ligue 1 match against Lens, with both players reportedly attracting strong interest from Liverpool.

When asked about the decision, the coach gave a frosty three-word reply, though the report did not specify his exact words. The omissions have inevitably sparked fresh speculation about the duo’s futures at the Parc des Princes.

Barcola and Mbaye have each been linked with moves to Anfield, and their absence from the matchday squad is likely to intensify talk of a January approach from the Premier League side. PSG, meanwhile, will aim to secure victory without two of their attacking options.
