Stephane Burchkalte, the director of the National Professional Footballers' Union (UNFP) of France, has said Paris Saint-Germain have "no right" to exclude Adrien Rabiot from the first-team setup.
Following his refusal to sign a new contract with the Ligue 1 side, the midfielder has been left out of the team since early December and has been training with the reserves.
Speaking to Benjamin Quarez of Goal, Burchkalte said the action taken by the French champions is not appropriate as they don't have the facilities to accommodate a squad of professional players aside from those assigned to the first team, which Rabiot is no longer part of:
"When there is no place to train, which is PSG's case, the criteria do not apply, it just means another group cannot be formed.
