AS Saint-Etienne coach Claude Puel is sending a clear message to some of his players.
Before leaving for a pre-season internship near Dinard, the green technician made choices. 24 players summoned and 6 absent put on a blacklist. Indeed, Wahbi Khazri, Sergi Palencia, Ryad Boudebouz, Miguel Trauco, Yann M’Vila and Harold Moukoudi stayed at home. In other words, he’s not counting on those names for the coming season. Unsurprisingly, Stéphane Ruffier is also in the lot, he who lost his number one place after nearly 10 years at the club.
