As expected since Thursday, Kylian Mbappé is present in the group called by Luis Enrique for the final of the Coupe de France, Saturday, against Olympique Lyonnais.

Kylian Mbappé will indeed play the final of the Coupe de France against Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday on the pitch at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille. The Parisian striker appears in the group revealed by PSG this Friday, on the eve of the clash against OL. Uncertainty reigned since the French world champion had been deprived of the last two matches of the season in Ligue 1, his last match dating back to the ugly defeat conceded against Toulouse (1-3) for the Bondynois’ farewell to the public of Princes Park.

In the process, Luis Enrique had very harsh words towards his players, pointing out the attitude of some. “ Not all players can play PSG. The attitude, commitment and behavior must be at their maximum, that’s what we’ve been looking for at PSG since I’ve been here. Whoever is not prepared for that, who is only there when it interests him, whoever has other priorities linked to individual interests which are not those of the team, he will not play at PSG . This is a very clear message », he thundered.

Kylian Mbappé was in Cannes last weekend

For many, even though the departure of Kylian Mbappé has been a given for several weeks, this message was intended in particular for the former Monegasque, whose attitude in recent weeks had greatly displeased the technician. Enough to raise the question of his presence in the Parisian group, Saturday, for the final of the Coupe de France. And all the more so after his getaway to Cannes last weekend with Ousmane Dembélé, followed, on Monday, by his farewell evening.

If Ousmane Dembélé is also present, Keylor Navas, who announced his departure from the club, is not part of the group, as is Layvin Kurzawa or Ethan Mbappé, also leaving. Unsurprisingly, Presnel Kimpembe, who resumed collective training this Thursday, is not part of the trip either.
