Time stopped in the 67th minute of PSG-Brest on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. Not because of a fabulous goal, but not a bad player on Kylian Mbappé, but a foul foul from the unfortunate Lilian Brasier. Brassier missed the ball, but not the Parisian striker’s ankle, the breast twisting under the defender’s weight. A few minutes of treatment on the pitch, a player limping but still finishing the match, is cause for hope. Since then, number 7 has not returned to the training center.
Although the first tests were reassuring, Mbappe is still experiencing pain in his ankle. Enough to doubt his participation in Saturday evening’s match against LOSC, to save him before the long-awaited Champions League meeting? Next Wednesday, PSG will host Real Sociedad for the Round of 16 first leg. Communication from Paris Saint-Germain was particularly awaited this Friday, as the infirmary update is usually made the day before the match, shortly before coach Luis Enrique’s press conference.
Mbappé is already fit!
And the press release came shortly after 11am with surprising information regarding the French international. “As part of his recovery protocol, Nuno Mendes will carry out part of the training with the group today. Milan Skriniar and Presnel Kimpembe continue their rehabilitation exercises. Hit against the breast, Kylian Mbappé will do indoor exercises today. His presence in the group for PSG – LOSC is not in question.
So everything seems to be in order for Mbappé, who may also be in the group for the LOSC reception. Unlikely news when we recall the images of Brazier’s ankle at the time of the tackle. It remains to be seen what use Luis Enrique will make of him, looking to protect his star. Even though the latter still wants to play. Stupidly injured against Lille on a Saturday evening 4 days before the Champions League would be considered stupid…
