The French striker is titular with PSG, this Sunday in Nice, less than two weeks after being detected positive for the coronavirus.


It was an expected return.

For this trip to Nice, Thomas Tuchel has decided to start Kylian Mbappé in tip next to Mauro Icardi.

The world champion, detected positive for the coronavirus with the France team on September 7, has not played in an official match with PSG since the Champions League final against Bayern Munich (0-1 defeat).

Mitchel Bakker holder

Even though he lacks competition, Mbappé did not develop symptoms of the disease and was therefore able to support himself physically during the entire period of his isolation.

In addition to its French striker, PSG also recovers Marco Verratti.

Affected in the adductor and absent against Metz last Wednesday, the Italian international will evolve in midfield next to Idrissa Gueye preferred to Ander Herrera.

Angel Di Maria and Julian Draxler will be responsible for running the corridors while we note in defense the tenure of Mitchel Bakker to replace Juan Bernat victim of a serious injury to the left knee.

The Dutchman is the only valid left-back since Kurzawa and Diallo are suspended.

In central defense, no surprise: Presnel Kimpembe will pair up with Marquinhos who will wear the captain's armband.

Finally, the Italian Florenzi will evolve as a right side for his second match with PSG.
