The Frenchman’s physical condition worries the Parisians
Mbappe and PSG
Without Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr, Kylian Mbappe is the great banner of PSG for this new season. For the first time, Kylian Mbappe is the lone leader of the Parisian team that has had a busy transfer market with important additions such as Goncalo Ramos, Marco Asensio, Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele. However, at PSG there is already great concern with Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman does not arrive in the best physical condition after the FIFA International Break, where he had physical discomfort.
“Kylian has a problem with his patellar tendon after training yesterday (on Monday)… It doesn’t seem serious, but it is a problem that bothers him and also carries risks. So, if he is not a starter, bringing him will not improve his situation,” explained the world champion coach in Russia 2018. These words from Didier Deschamps caused concern in the Parisian team prior to the UEFA Champions League, which will begin shortly.
PSG wants this season to be different in terms of its aspirations in the UEFA Champions League. The team now led by Luis Enrique knows that it is not one of the favorites to win the championship, and is even expected to have difficult moments in a difficult group. However, PSG’s goal is to try to win their first Champions League and to do so, they have a great coach like Luis Enrique, who has already achieved it in the past with Messi and Neymar’s FC Barcelona.
When does PSG debut in the Champions League?
Paris Saint Germain will face Nice next Friday, September 15 at the Parc des Princes; On Tuesday the 19th they will debut in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, also at home; again at home they will clash with Marseille on the 24th of this month; and on the 30th he will visit Clermont. For the second date of the UCL he will travel to England to play against Newcastle, on October 4.
