This is two good news, at least in the medium term, for Mauricio Pochettino. This Wednesday, as expected, Kylian Mbappé resumed the race at the Camp des Loges. The Parisian striker had felt a pain in the right calf during France-Bosnia (1-1), in Strasbourg, before leaving the gathering of the Blues to join his club. As indicated in the medical bulletin published Tuesday by the PSG, Mbappé suffered from a "low grade lesion of the soleus". He had remained in care until now. A new point will be made by the club this Thursday concerning in particular its chances of being present on Saturday (5 p.m.), at the Parc des Princes for the reception of Clermont. The trend on the Parisian side remains in spite of everything to be cautious, especially since the Champions League is looming next week with a trip to Bruges on Wednesday.
In the absence of Mbappé against Clermont, Mauricio Pochettino will in any case have to compose an unprecedented attack. To the absence of Mauro Icardi (acromioclavicular sprain), are added in fact those of Messi, Neymar and Di Maria, all back from selection only on Friday.
Presnel Kimpembe, him, had left the lawn of Groupama Stadium grimacing on Tuesday at the end of France - Finland (2-0) after a shock with Kurt Zouma. Affected by the Achilles tendon, he underwent reassuring additional examinations. The central defender suffers only suddenly. But that does not necessarily mean that he will be able to hold his place against Clermont. After having chained the three matches of the Blues (Bosnia, Ukraine, Finland), he should have to breathe, especially as the premature return of Marquinhos and the good form of Thilo Kehrer offer Pochettino a solution to compose his central defense and , despite the absence once again of Sergio Ramos, still not ready.
