PSG striker Kylian Mbappé, injured in the adductors, is forfeited for the trip to Clermont on Saturday at the opening of Ligue 1, the capital club announced on Friday. Mbappé, “suffering from adductors, will remain in care at the training center. A new point will be made in 72 hours,” said PSG. The world champion was already suspended during the Champions Trophy won on Sunday against Nantes (4-0).
Having become the figurehead of the Parisian project with its extension, the world champion will therefore still have to leave the good role and the top of the bill to Messi and Neymar, decisive against Nantes (opener of the Argentinian score, doubled of the Brazilian). He should, as in Israel, be replaced by the Spaniard Pablo Sarabia.
First call for Ekitike
Without Mbappé, the mission of his teammates will however not vary one iota and any misstep will be prohibited. Just after extending his lease until 2025, “Kyky” had clearly displayed the objectives for the coming season, making the restoration of the club’s authority on the French scene the first condition for its recovery.
Satisfying the ambition of the Qatari owners, namely winning the C1, “passes by re-establishing unanimity at the national level”, he had launched at the end of June. Facing Clermont, PSG will however be able to count on its summer recruits, Vitinha, Nordi Mukiele and Hugo Ekitike, summoned for the first time with the Parisian group.
