Kylian Mbappé is absent from the Paris SG group to face Metz on the 34th and final day of Ligue 1, and will therefore not play one last championship match before leaving this summer.
Coach Luis Enrique also chose to do without other team executives such as the usual captain Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The coach had made the same choice with Mbappé and Dembélé to travel to Nice on Wednesday (2-1 victory), but PSG had indicated that the two men were physically hampered, which was not the case during the point medical broadcast on Saturday. As for Donnarumma, he could be replaced in goal by Keylor Navas, for a form of jubilee before the departure of the former Real Madrid player this summer.
“It will be a mix” between managerial players and usual substitutes, Luis Enrique said on Saturday, keen to prepare for the Coupe de France final against Lyon next Saturday while physically preserving his best players for a match without challenges. Indeed, PSG are already crowned champions and received the trophy last Sunday at the Parc des Princes.
