Idrissa Gana Gueye reportedly misses PSG’s game over rainbow colours
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gueye reportedly missed his side’s 4-0 win against Montpellier on Saturday because he didn’t want to play in a shirt that had his number in rainbow colours.
Players across France wore the special shirts over the weekend in an expression of solidarity to mark the upcoming International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, on Tuesday May 17.
But the former Everton and Aston Villa player Gueye was absent from the match for what his manager Mauricio Pochettino said ‘were personal reasons, but he is not injured’.
Now, as reported by French outlet RMC Sport, the reason behind Gueye’s omission is that he didn’t want to wear a shirt with rainbow colours.
They also add that Gueye missed the equivalent commemorative match on the same weekend last year for what PSG said was gastroenteritis.
Sportsmail has contacted Gueye’s representatives for comment. (DailyMail)
