While he announced his departure from PSG at the end of the season, Kylian Mbappé finds himself on the bench for the Ligue 1 meeting in Nantes, this Saturday evening (9 p.m.).

Four days after the 2-0 victory against Real Sociedad in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, PSG continues in Ligue 1 at FC Nantes, this Saturday evening (kick-off 9 p.m., live on Canal+ Foot and Canal+ 360). Leader in the standings with 11 points ahead of Nice, the reigning French champion will turn things around a bit…

Kylian Mbappé is in fact a substitute for this meeting at La Beaujoire, as indicated in particular by journalists Abdellah Boulma and Fabrice Hawkins, who are well informed on the news of the capital club. The championship’s top scorer (20 goals) was sent to the bench by Luis Enrique as he announced his departure at the end of the season to his president Nasser al-Khelaïfi and even to his teammates this week.

Kolo Muani takes advantage

Under contract until June 30, Mbappé has decided to conclude his great Parisian adventure that began in 2017, to probably (finally) join Real Madrid, after having declined the invitation from Casa Blanca president Florentino Pérez on several occasions.

Mbappé’s benching benefits Randal Kolo Muani, who starts against his former club, with Lee Kang-In and Bradley Barcola (as well as Marco Asensio) in the PSG offensive sector. Gonçalo Ramos is therefore on the sidelines.

The starting lineup: Donnarumma – Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Danilo, Hernandez – Vitinha, Ugarte, Asensio – Lee, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
