This is the good news of the Madrid evening.
While we weren't necessarily expecting him in training, Kylian Mbappé did the entire session on Tuesday with his partners.
On the eve of the round of 16 return against Real Madrid, under the eager gaze of a hundred journalists, the Parisian striker did not force during the warm-up he started in a small group made up of Achraf Hakimi, Julian Draxler and Nuno Mendes.
In a Santiago-Bernabeu stadium, where Gazprom advertisements (the Russian gas supplier, sponsor of UEFA whose contract was broken) were replaced by signs marked "Peace", Mbappé then took part in the opposition by reduced training.
Mauricio Pochettino did his best to scramble the cards and the teams, but we could still notice that the Frenchman was evolving within a hard core which included Neymar, Verratti and Marquinhos.
Messi was him in the opposite team.
Danilo, Paredes and Gueye in balance for two positions
Difficult to learn from this session where the three goalkeepers succeeded each other in the Parisian goals.
After these 20 minutes of small game, the relaxed and smiling world champion ended with a session of shots on goal where he used only his right foot.
Victim of a blow on the other foot, the left, Monday morning during training at the Camp des Loges, the top scorer of PSG had caused a wave of panic among the staff and the leaders of the club of the capital.
The exams passed in the process had reassured the Parisian decision-makers, but a doubt remained on the presence of Mbappé for the match on Wednesday evening.
This is now lifted.
Kylian Mbappé, barring a very unlikely relapse, will participate in the match against Real Madrid in an attack composed of Messi and Neymar.
For the rest, Pochettino has kept his secrets, especially in midfield where Danilo, Paredes and Gueye are in the balance for two positions, and in the cage where the choice must once again be made between Navas and Donnarumma.
