Replaced half an hour into the game once morest OM on Sunday (4-0), the PSG striker does not cause concern in his coach, Luis Enrique.
PSG who loses wins? If they crushed OM (4-0) on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes, the Parisians also lost Kylian Mbappé, who left the field following half an hour of play and was replaced by Gonçalo Ramos, author of a double in the second half. The 24-year-old star striker was hit in the left ankle during a duel with Leonardo Balerdi at the very start of the match (7th), the fault which led to the free kick converted by Achraf Hakimi (8th). Mbappé was treated on the sidelines for several minutes, before coming back and… returning to the medical staff to have a bandage applied. Alas, nothing happened: he finally asked for a change from the bench.
It remains to be seen whether there is cause for concern in the Parisian ranks. Mbappé was eight of his team’s 12 goals before Sunday’s match, since the start of the season, in all competitions, and “The best player in the world» says Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of the club in the capital, believing that the person concerned “deserves the Golden Ball».

Luis Enrique
Luis Enrique took stock at a press conference. Not very worried…”Right now, I don’t know what’s going on. He took a hit and was in a lot of pain. He tried to continue, tightening the bandage on his ankle, but it hurt too much.“, first explained the Spanish coach, then estimating that “It’s nothing serious. I think it will be available soon. It’s always better not to take risks. When a player is not 100%, when he is in pain, it risks getting worse. I think we made the right decision.» A decision which did not prevent PSG from marching on OM, with the first Parisian goals from Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos.
Interviewed following the meeting, Kolo Muani and Bradley Barcola were no more worried than their coach. “It’s a little pain, he’ll get over it, don’t worry», smiles the first. “From my point of view, I don’t think it’s very serious», breathes the second. The main person involved was also seen all smiles posing with his brother Ethan and relatives on the lawn following the game. To see if it will be put back for the trip to the red lantern in Clermont on Saturday (5 p.m.), or for that to Newcastle in C1 (04/10).
