Man City visa blunder forces Khadija Shaw to miss crucial Champions League qualifier against Paris FC

According to <a href="Manchester City will be without Khadija Shaw for their Champions League qualifier against Paris FC due to a visa blunder." target="_blank">The Guardian</a>, City failed to submit a visa application in time for Wednesday's match in Paris in a remarkable mishap. The Women's Super League outfit were unsuccessful in their desperate late attempts to secure a visa for Shaw and so will be without their star striker, who was the top scorer in the WSL last season and won the league's Player of the Season award.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Shaw's absence is a big blow for Gareth Taylor's side ahead of the first leg of their Champions League qualifier. City will need to overcome Paris FC after finishing second in the WSL last season, meaning a qualifier is required to reach the group stage.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Paris FC will be no pushovers. The French side eliminated Arsenal and Wolfsburg to reach the group stage last season, where they went on to finish ahead of Real Madrid in Group D.

DID YOU KNOW?

The presence of Lauren Hemp, Aoba Fujino and summer signing Vivianne Miedema ensures City retain plenty of attacking depth ahead of Wednesday's match.
