The French side will face Clermont this Saturday in Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain got a great victory last weekend against Olympique Marseille, their rivals, which allowed them to recover in Ligue 1 and get closer to the top of the standings. They are now in third place, just two points behind leaders Brest and one point behind Nice. On Sunday, these two teams will face each other, so if PSG win, they will be able to take advantage of this.

 

The Parisian side will have an ideal match, as they will face the worst team of the tournament, Clermont. They are currently at the bottom of the standings with only one point. They drew one match (against Toulouse FC) and lost the other 5.

As usual before each match, PSG coach Luis Enrique gave a press conference in which he answered the journalists' questions, especially regarding the analysis of the team's performance in the last matches, the things that need to be improved and the strengths and weaknesses of their upcoming opponents.

However, the most remarkable response was the one he gave about Kylian Mbappé. The striker had to be replaced during the first half in the match against Olympique Marseille after a hard blow by defender Leonardo Balerdi. This caused concern among fans, who feared that the team's star could have an injury. But Luis Enrique gave good news and said: "Today Kylian trained with the group, he did all the training, he had no discomfort, no problem, he is perfectly available. He received treatment all week, he had specific training. He is in perfect health”.

 

What will happen with him?

Luis Enrique must make a decision with Kylian Mbappé. While he assured that ‘Kiki’ is in perfect condition and can play this Saturday against Clermont, perhaps the most convenient is that he rests. This is because next week PSG will have a key match in the Champions League, against Newcastle in England, and there they will need him much more than on Saturday.
