More fear than harm. Released in the 31st minute of play against OM, during a one-sided “classic” on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes (4-0), Kylian Mbappé should not stay away from the pitch for too long. This is what coach Luis Enrique suggested just after the match in a press conference.
“It’s not a serious problem, but there is pain,” explained the Spanish coach. I think it was smarter to go out. But there’s nothing important, in the end it’s fine. » A little later, Enrique even assured that his attacker “will be available quickly”. “It was better not to take any risks, especially when a player is not at 100%, so as not to get worse,” assured the coach.
Good news for PSG who, after a trip to Clermont on Saturday, will travel to Newcastle on October 4 for the 2nd group day of the Champions League. A significant Franco-British shock in the race for qualification. The “Magpies” also seem in great form since they crushed Sheffield United on Sunday with a score of 8-0.
Mbappé’s injury was the only dark cloud over the Park on Sunday evening. Hit in the left ankle at the start of the match (7th) after contact with defender Leonardo Balerdi, he lay down for the first time along the sidelines to receive treatment, before playing again for a few minutes. The attacker then came out to have a bandage applied, then played again (17th), before leaving permanently, replaced by Gonçalo Ramos (31st).
The exit of Mbappé – essential for PSG since his return to the game with 8 goals out of the 12 scored by his club this season – did not, however, disturb his partners who enjoyed themselves against the overwhelmed Marseillais. Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos, recruits of the attack until then silent with Paris SG, have thus unlocked their counter against Paris’ best enemy.
A performance appreciated by President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi who returned to the summer psychodrama between the club and Mbappé. The body had dismissed its player who refused to extend his contract. “The problems we had remain in the family and Kylian is part of the family,” the club boss stressed to the media. I am proud of what he (Mbappé) does and what the whole team does. We have the best player in the world and, for me, he deserves the Ballon d’Or. »
