On departure and replacement!
Luis Enrique has decided: Kylian Mbappé will not start Nantes-PSG this Saturday evening at La Beaujoire as part of the 22nd day of the French Championship.
While he recently announced to his management that he wanted to leave Paris at the end of the season, confirming our revelations of February 3, the striker was until then the most used outfield player.
The composition of PSG: Donnarumma - Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos (cap.), Danilo, Hernandez - Vitinha, Ugarte, Lee - Asensio, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
As a precaution after an injury suffered against Brest in the Coupe de France, he did not start the last championship match against Lille at the Parc des Princes (3-1).
This is therefore a second Ligue 1 match in a row that he has not started.
In the meantime, he played the entire round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Real Sociedad and scored the first goal (2-0).
In his “place”, numerically at least, the Spanish coach installed Randal Kolo Muani.
He has reshuffled his offensive line since Ousmane Dembélé is also a substitute.
Marco Asensio will take the right lane while Bradley Barcola, left lane, remains the only survivor of the usual attack.
In the middle, Manuel Ugarte, replacement in C1, returns to his position as sentry in the company of Vitinha and Kang-In Lee, who has not played with PSG since January 3 and the Champions Trophy against Toulouse.
Since then, he has gone to play in the Asian Cup with South Korea, eliminated in the semi-final.
Behind, Marquinhos and Danilo still form the central hinge while Warren Zaire-Emery takes the right lane and Lucas Hernandez returns to his left-back role.
The world champion was a substitute against Real Sociedad.
Luis Enrique thus changed five starters between Wednesday's match in the European Cup and that against Nantes this Saturday.
