As the Ligue 1 restarts in seven days, Kylian Mbappé is expected to remain sidelined and excluded from the main training group, according to RMC Sport.
Players are set to return to the new training center in Poissy on Monday. While no decision has been made for the opening match on August 12 against Lorient, it is not unlikely that Mbappé might find himself on the bench or even in the stands. The ongoing conflict between the club and the player continues, with no discussions reported between the two parties.
The situation seems to have put PSG coach Luis Enrique in an uncomfortable position. He wishes to have Mbappé on the field, but the circumstances surrounding the player’s status are making this challenging. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, PSG’s president, remains firm in his decision to exclude Mbappé.
Luis Campos, the club’s sporting advisor, is attempting to mediate and ease tensions in a situation that continues to strain relationships within the club. However, as things stand, Mbappé’s presence in the next match will be at best in the stands. Whether he remains with PSG is still uncertain.
