Armstrong Oko Flex has been left out of the Celtic squad for the Champions League qualifier against FK Sarajevo.
The 18-year-old scored in the pre-season friendly win over SK Pinkafeld but has been left out of the 24 man squad registered with UEFA.
Eboue Kouassi, Daniel Arzani, Tom Rogic and Olivier Ntcham are all listed despite missing out on the three match trip to Switzerland and Austria.
1. This would appear to be the squad that we’ve registered for the CL QR1 tie against Sarajevo.
Few things to note.
This is only the ‘A List’ of players. We can have 25 players on it. Most of the players you think are missing will be on the ‘B List’, which doesn’t have a limit. pic.twitter.com/4NNI5fWjoZ

6. The biggest casualty for now appears to be Armstrong Okoflex who, based on the squad shown above, won’t be able to feature against Sarajevo.
However, what it does mean is that anyone we sign now will need to replace someone in that 24 man squad above.

New signings Luca Connell, Christopher Jullien and Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo are all listed and could make their debuts in Bosnia next week.
Kris Ajer and Mikey Johnston haven’t been listed but will be part of a B list which covers any player that come through the Academy in the last two years.
Two players can be added to the squad by 11pm on Sunday but that would be at the expense of someone already on the A list.
Tuesday’s first leg match will be televised by Premier Sports with no television deal announced for the return leg eight days later.
