“If he couldn’t start, it wasn’t to bring him in“, explained Deschamps about Mbappé after the meeting. This physical concern for the PSG striker comes one week before the arrival of Borussia Dortmund at the Parc des Princes, on September 19, for the debut of the group stage of the Champions League. Before this meeting, Paris will host Nice on Friday for the 5th day of Ligue 1.
In three Ligue 1 matches this season, the 24-year-old has scored 5 goals, including two doubles against Lens (3-1) and Lyon (4-1).
