PSG coach Luis Enrique has made an important decision regarding Kylian Mbappé for the opposition against LOSC.

On the occasion of the 21e day of Ligue 1, Paris challenges Lille at home this Saturday evening (at 9 p.m.). A match against a top team, but which comes four days before a crucial meeting in the Champions League against Real Sociedad. For this reason, Luis Enrique decided to make some changes.

Mbappé preserved

The PSG coach notably chose to do without Kylian Mbappé. The Bondynois is not injured. His blow to the ankle against Brest had no after-effects. It is simply preserved for the big shock next week.

Mbappé’s absence benefits Randal Kolo Muani. The former Nantes player finds a place at the forefront. After speaking in the media about his discomfort, the French international is expected to be just as expressive on the pitch. In attack, he will be accompanied by Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé.
