Ben Arfa omitted from PSG's Coupe de France squad despite training with first team

Hatem Ben Arfa has been excluded from the Paris Saint-Germain squad for the Coupe de France final, despite training with his team-mates on the eve of the game.

Ben Arfa has been an outcast at PSG all season, failing to make a single appearance and treating himself to a cake to mark the one-year anniversary of his last display for the club.

But a shock recall appeared on the cards ahead of the 31-year-old's departure at the end of the season as he trained with the PSG squad ahead of the clash against third-tier side Les Herbiers at the Stade de France on Tuesday.
