Like his friend Achraf Hakimi, the PSG star striker is enjoying his last hours of rest. Absent against Angers, Wednesday evening, he d


Of the three members of the "MNM" only one will be missing, this Wednesday, for the reception of Angers at the Parc des Princes.

While Neymar and Lionel Messi are returning to the group, Kylian Mbappé will not be part of the party against the red lantern.

The PSG star striker is soon done with the ten days of rest allocated by Christophe Galtier after the trip to Lens which ended with the first Parisian defeat of the season (1-3).

As for Achraf Hakimi, his return to training is expected on Thursday.

The two would then have three sessions in the legs, at best, to approach the trip to Rennes, Sunday evening, at the end of the 19th day of Ligue 1. A relatively short period of time, which will require the control of the performance cell and the technical staff to validate their participation in this match.

In consultation with the club, Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi had wanted to resume training and competition just a few days after the end of the World Cup in Qatar, feeling the same need to continue after the international tournament.

They had thus participated in the success against Strasbourg (2-1), on December 28 – Mbappé scoring the victory penalty – then in the defeat on Lensoise soil, before being able to breathe for the second part of the season.

The French striker and the Moroccan defender, opponents in the semi-finals of the last World Cup, did not let go during this period of relaxation.

After a short week in the United States, where they took advantage of the joys of New York, the two friends used their free time to go to Marrakech (Morocco) where some shots in a well-known restaurant in the city have leaked in particular on the web in recent days.

It is reinflated to block, now, that the Parisians hope to find the strong man of their attack and the side, which was in any case suspended against Angers, after having received a third yellow card in less than ten meetings.

Solid deadlines await PSG in the coming weeks, with the main focus on the reception of Bayern Munich on February 14 in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.

Christophe Galtier will then need his major forces in top form to carry out his missions.

In this sense, everything has been done this winter, so that the players concerned by the recent World Cup can take advantage of a break to recharge the batteries.

On the Bavarian side, the recovery took place in Doha (Qatar) for an internship of a few days before returning to competition on January 20 on the lawn of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
