UEFA Nations League D - Generale

Paris Saint-Germain are beginning to feel the aftershocks of Bradley Barcola’s blockbuster summer move to Liverpool, but not in the way many expected. While the French champions pocketed a massive €145 million fee, the departure of the winger has coincided with a dramatic slump in form for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Former Manchester United defender Phil Bardsley has voiced his concerns over the club's alarming start to the season under Michael Carrick. He believes captain Bruno Fernandes looks unusually flat and insists the squad desperately lacks the leadership required to turn things around.

Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber has missed group training while on international duty with the Netherlands following a modified schedule agreed with national team coach Xavi Hernandez. The update comes as a fresh concern for Mikel Arteta amid a growing right-back crisis at the Emirates Stadium.

Wayne Rooney has expressed his disappointment over the prospect of Manchester United losing 15-year-old prodigy JJ Gabriel. The former United captain believes the highly-rated teenager, who has attracted interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona, would have made his first-team debut this season had he not asked to leave.
