DONNY VAN DE BEEK has been left out of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Europa Conference League squad as his loan spell takes a major blow.
The Manchester United midfielder, 26, joined the Bundesliga side last month as he looks to resurrect his career.
But he will not feature for Frankfurt in Europe as they have omitted him from their list of players registered for the Conference League.
It comes just one week after he was hauled off at half-time in a 1-0 win over Mainz.
He was then an unused substitute in their 2-0 defeat to Koln on Saturday.
Van de Beek is yet to register a goal or assist in three appearances for Frankfurt.
He has also created just one chance for his team-mates since arriving in Germany.
He still has 18 months remaining on his contract at Old Trafford but had featured for just 21 minutes this term, with his last outing coming as sub against Crystal Palace on September 30.
He completed a loan to Frankfurt within the first 12 hours of the January transfer window and the Bundesliga side also have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
It is believed that fee would be around £9.5m – with add-ons potentially seeing it rise to £12m.

However, the prospect of the German club taking up that option looks increasingly unlikely as Van de Beek struggles in his new surroundings.
He has been substituted in every one of his Frankfurt games to date.
His poor form means he could yet return to Man Utd – where he has started just 23 games since arriving for £40m in 2020.
