Luis Enrique Provides Update on Mbappé’s Ankle

Preserved during the Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint-Germain and Lille (3-1) this Saturday, Kylian Mbappé will be fit for the match against Real Sociedad on Wednesday in the Champions League.

Speaking to Canal +, PSG coach Luis Enrique reassured about the condition of his striker’s ankle. The player spent the match on the bench and did not enter the game.

« We didn’t want to take any risks with him. We could have brought him in, but it made no sense. If this match had been a final, of course, he would have played. But I think it was very smart of him and me to preserve him for Wednesday to have a big match, » explained Luis Enrique.

« Before playing in the Champions League, it’s perfect, both offensively and defensively. We created a lot of goal-scoring situations, it was very good. When we play every three days, we aim for all players to be able to play. Tonight, we had a positive and competitive version of the team, which showed intensity. It’s a real pleasure. »

« On Wednesday? The best thing will be to enjoy it. There’s a lot of tension, it’s talked about a lot on TV, but it’s not about that. Relax! The team is fine, prepared, we’ll enjoy it. We are ready! » assured the Spanish coach on Canal +.
