However, coach Luis Enrique reassured the public that Paris Saint-Germain’s main star is fine. He also guaranteed Mbappe’s presence in the match welcoming Real Sociedad, in the first leg of the 1/8 round of the 2023/24 Champions League.
“Kylian needs to rest, the PSG medical team found that the pain in his ankle is not serious but needs rest. That’s all. He will return in the Champions League, I can guarantee guarantee that. However, with the remaining force, we are completely ready for force majeure cases like today.” – Coach Luis Enrique shared after the Lille match.
According to L’Équipe, Mbappe’s ankle injury stemming from the win over Brest in the National Cup a few days ago was actually not serious. He was still able to play last night, but the PSG coaching staff did not risk letting the French superstar fully recover his physical strength.
Without Mbappe, the two strikers Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos completed their task against Lille, they both scored in a 3-1 victory for the home team at Parc Des Princes.
