After the draw between Metz and Marseille on Friday with two goals everywhere, Lyon receives Montpellier at 7 p.m., a match delayed by two hours because of the heat wave, then at 9 p.m., PSG moves to Toulouse, a week after its draw 0 -0 against Lorient. Paris which, for the first time this season, can count on its star Kylian Mbappé.
In Toulouse, the question is no longer whether Kylian Mbappé will tread the lawn of the Stadium. The question now is rather when. A doubt remains on a possible tenure of the top scorer in the history of the club, he who only returned to the main group last Sunday. A detail that is very important. And that does not simplify the task of TFC coach Carlos Martinez Novell.
“He has a lot of desire, shows a good state of mind”
“It’s not the same to prepare for a match with or without Mbappé, with or without Dembele. We’ll see. We have to be ready for all eventualities. But it’s more complicated for us, that’s for sure” , explains the TFC coach.
Kylian Mbappé had only four training sessions to find automatisms in a greatly reshaped group. Enough all the same to impress his new trainer Luis Enrique. “Kylian, I see him perfectly well. He has a lot of desire, shows a good state of mind. For a coach, having a player of Kylian’s class… needless to say I’m delighted. Not only for what he brings footballingly, but also humanly”, says with confidence Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain
The Bondynois player who, after having formed the MNM with Neymar and Messi, is about to form the MDR with Dembélé and Ramos. It remains to be seen who will be laughing at the final whistle of this TFC – PSG.
