Waching daily Oct 1 2017

Spanish outlet Don Balon have reported that Spanish giants Barcelona are hoping that Philippe

Coutinho refuses to play for Liverpool during their Champions League games.

The 25-year-old Coutinho was a top target of the Catalan giants this summer following

the departure of Neymar to PSG.

In the end, he remained at Anfield after the Reds remained insistent that they would not

sell.

The Brazil international Coutinho was reportedly keen on a move and handed in a transfer request

to try and persuade the Anfield hierarchy into selling him.

Though Coutinho recently played for Brazil during their World Cup qualifiers, he has

not played for Liverpool this season due to a reported back injury and was not included

in Jurgen Klopp's squad that played against Manchester City this weekend.

It is unlikely that Barcelona will get their wish.

With the World Cup coming up next summer, Coutinho will know that he will have to play

as regularly as possible to try and retain his place in the Brazil squad.

College Gameday makes its first appearance in Blacksburg since 2007.

This is as marquee a home game as Virginia Tech has had in years.

Josh Jackson is off to a good start at quarterback for the Hokies, but will face his toughest test yet against Clemson's defense.
