Paris Saint-Germain will take on Lille at 04:00 a.m., but Mbappe could be rested.
Before the game, Enrique and his coaching staff wanted to avoid the risk and let Mbappe, who has an ankle injury, rest for this game. Mbappe suffered a sprained ankle at one point in the French Cup round of 16 against Brest in Grand Paris, but he persevered to finish the match. Although the medical team confirmed that Mbappe was fine after the post-match diagnosis, Enrique did not want to take any risks before the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Mbappe has only missed the first round of Ligue 1 this season, scoring 30 goals and providing seven assists in 29 appearances, an average of 676 minutes to be directly involved in a goal.
Five days after this round, Paris Saint-Germain will be eliminated in the Champions League against Real Sociedad in the first leg, so there is a high probability that Mbappe will not play in this Ligue 1 game. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain also let Mbappe rest well to adjust his condition, and then play against Real Sociedad, hoping to get a good result from the team.
The result of this match in Ligue 1 was not surprising, with Paris Saint-Germain winning.
