The start – or not – of Kylian Mbappé against OM on Sunday evening does not really seem to worry the OM coach.

Sunday, Olympique de Marseille welcomes Paris Saint-Germain for what will constitute the poster for the 27th day of Ligue 1. For this “Classic”, which should be the very last of his career, Kylian Mbappé is not guaranteed to be established by Luis Enrique. Asked about this, Jean-Louis Gasset would understand that the Spanish technician could do without the services of his star for this meeting.

“The opposing coach has important deadlines. When you are a coach of his caliber, what you aim for is titles. He still has the championship, which is well underway, but also the Coupe de France and a quarter-final of the Champions League. How will he manage playing time? Only he knows. For our part, we must be ready for all eventualities. The great strength (of PSG) is to have built a squad to win everything”declared the OM coach this Friday afternoon at a press conference.

Adaptability

Asked about a possible anti-Mbappé plan, the former Ivory Coast coach expressed his many uncertainties. “I don’t know if he’s going to play, where he’s going to play, if he’ll be up front or on the left. We will adapt when needed”he warned, indicating that he was not preparing for the different possibilities that could exist.

Jean-Louis Gasset took advantage of this press point to announce the packages of Bamo Meité, Ismaila Sarr, Jonathan Clauss and Jean Onana. Concerning Leonardo Balerdi, Ulisses Garcia, Pape Gueye and Samuel Gigot, a decision will be made on Sunday morning.
