The 32 participants of this season's Champions League have announced their squads for the tournament, with some noticeable players absent.
Amid speculation regarding a potential move to Atletico Madrid in January, Diego Costa didn't find his name on Antonio Conte's list for the European competition.
Meanwhile, Marco Reus' knee injury will sideline him for the group stage phase and the exact date of his recovery isn't currently known by Dortmund doctors.
After the multi-million signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint Germain's Unai Emeri had no choice but leave Hatem Ben Arfa out of his plans, while the player is training with the reserve squad.
The arrivals of Mattia De Sciglio and Benedikt Howedes have similarly left no place for Stephan Lichtsteiner in Juventus' plans and, along with Marko Pjaca, who suffered a knee injury, they weren't included in the Old Lady's list.
Finally, Nathaniel Clyne, Lazar Markovic, Danny Ings, Vincent Janssen and Erik Lamela are some of the hot names of the Premier League who won't feature in the first phase of the major European tournament.
