Barcelona defender Marlon misses flight for Champions League clash with Man City after forgetting passport
Luis Enrique, Lionel Messi and Co arrived in Manchester on Monday without youngster after he left vital document behind
BARCELONA defender Marlon has missed his side's flight to Manchester... After forgetting his passport.
The Brazilian centre-back, 21, is set to make his Champions League debut against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City due to an injury sustained by Gerard Pique.
Yet he was not on board with the rest of the team after forgetting a fairly vital item...
The clash at the Etihad was set to be his first game since joining on loan from Brazilian side Fluminese, having originally been signed to pad out the Under-21 squad.
However, Marlon was named in the squad for Barcelona's La Liga clash with Granada at the weekend.
Samuel Umtiti is expected to partner Javier Mascherano in the heart of defence on Tuesday night, but Marlon may feature should either get into injury or card trouble.
It is expected the young defender will catch the next flight, however it is uncertain yet as to whether he will now lose his place in the travelling party.
