PARIS – Ja­maica’s su­per­star for­ward Khadi­ja Shaw was un­able to trav­el with Man­ches­ter City for Wednes­day’s Cham­pi­ons League qual­i­fi­er against Paris FC af­ter the club failed to file a visa ap­pli­ca­tion in time.

Shaw, Man­ches­ter City’s all-time lead­ing goal scor­er, was un­able to trav­el for the first leg of the sec­ond-round qual­i­fy­ing match in France.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, Shaw was sent to the French em­bassy on Tues­day morn­ing in a bid to se­cure an ex­pe­dit­ed visa ap­pli­ca­tion, but the re­quest was de­nied.

City, WSL run­ners-up to Chelsea on goal dif­fer­ence last sea­son, have failed to reach the Cham­pi­ons League group stage in the past three cam­paigns.

The win­ners of the sec­ond-round qual­i­fy­ing tie, of which the sec­ond leg takes place on Sep­tem­ber 26, qual­i­fy for the group stage.

The 27-year-old Shaw was the top scor­er in last sea­son’s Woman’s Su­per League, and al­so won the WSL and Foot­ball Writ­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion play­er of the sea­son awards fol­low­ing a stel­lar in­di­vid­ual 2023-24 sea­son.
