Frozen out! Balogun exiled from Monaco's European squad after Everton collapse

The fallout from the most dramatic collapse of deadline week continues: Folarin Balogun has been cut from Monaco's European squad.

Details: The USMNT striker was missing from the Conference League list published by UEFA late on Thursday, days after his proposed move to Everton fell apart. Balogun also did not travel with the squad for Friday's Ligue 1 clash away at PSG, with Monaco listing him among the absentees. He has not featured in any of the club's four games this season.

The 25 year old was hours from becoming an Everton player before walking away, with Monaco chief Thiago Scuro revealing the striker felt mistreated by the Toffees' medical team during the process. Now he is in limbo: back in group training but unwanted for Europe, with Takumi Minamino, out for eight months with a torn ACL, preferred on the list. There is one escape hatch left: the Saudi Arabian window remains open until October 12, though a player of his pedigree will expect January interest from the Premier League if he stays put. For the USMNT's first choice striker, the priority is simple, play football again before the autumn internationals.

It's worth noting that Monaco begin their Conference League league phase on October 15, so unless a late move materializes, Balogun faces at least six more weeks on the margins.

Reminder: Another boost for the Toffees! Everton agree deal for USMNT striker Balogun.
