Manchester City’s failure to file a visa application means Khadija Shaw is not in their squad for Wednesday night’s Champions League qualifier at Paris FC.
Shaw has not travelled to France for the first leg of the round two qualifying match despite late attempts to secure a visa. The Guardian has been told the Jamaica forward was sent to the French embassy on Tuesday morning but the request for an expedited application was refused. City denied Shaw had been asked to try to get a late visa and are understood to be confident there will be no future issues.
