He was pardoned within a week and rejoined the first team. Kylian Mbappé may also be staying in Paris this season, although it looks like his departure is inevitable. However, coach Luis Enrique was very happy.
Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé were not left out of the lineup for the game against Les Violets. The former returned to the first-team squad following a truce in his contract renewal dispute with the club.
The Spain coach indicated he is delighted to have Mbappé back, although he was evasive when asked if he had received assurances from the club about whether the striker would be available as early as next month.
“He seems to be in top form and very motivated, in the right mindset. It’s great to have a world-class player like Kylian, not only in terms of his football ability but also his character. I’m very happy for him,” said Enrique before the game.
As for Dembélé, Enrique told a news conference that the former Barcelona man is ready to be included in the starting line-up.
On the other hand, Marco Verratti will be absent. His departure was apparently only a matter of time, which is why he was not nominated at all. Like Spanish left-back Juan Bernat, who is reportedly close to returning to the Bundesliga.
