Jose Mourinho has left Argentina striker Hernan Crespo off his squad list for this season's Champions League.

Mourinho released a 25-man list on Monday night which included four attackers in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Julio Cruz, Adriano and Mario Balotelli, but there was no place for injured defenders Nelson Rivas and Walter Samuel, midfielder Olivier Dacourt or Crespo.

Mourinho has never been a fan of the 33-year-old, who spent much of his career at Chelsea on loan when the Portuguese coach was at the helm.

Reports in Italy suggest Crespo - who came on as a late substitute in Inter's first Serie A match of the new season at the weekend - could leave the club.
