(Paris) Paris SG star striker Kylian Mbappé starts as a substitute for the clash of 8are final of the Coupe de France against Nice, Monday evening, according to the score sheet.
Posted at 2:35 p.m.
The club’s top scorer is replaced numerically by Julian Draxler, established alongside Mauro Icardi and Lionel Messi.
His absence raises questions, two weeks before the 8and Champions League final first leg against Real Madrid. He started this season 27 of the 28 games he played.
“Kyky” injured his left adductor ten days ago, but he was restored to play against Reims on January 23 in Ligue 1 (4-0).
His surprise absence at kick-off gives Draxler his first tenure since early November. The German spent a large part of the winter in the infirmary.
The reception of Nice should allow PSG to gauge themselves before the big European meeting against Real, although several of its executives are absent, such as Marquinhos, Neymar, Angel di Maria and Sergio Ramos.
Composition of the teams
Paris SG: Donnarumma-Dagba, Kehrer, Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes-Herrera, Danilo, Verratti-Messi, Icardi, Draxler
Nice: Bulka-Lotomba, Todibo, Dante, Amavi-Boudaoui, Thuram, Schneiderlin, Kluivert-Dolberg, Gouiri
