It was ultimately just an alert. During a press conference, Luis Enrique announced on Friday September 29 that Kylian Mbappé had resumed collective training with Paris Saint-Germain. Hit in an ankle during the Classic won by his club against Marseille last weekend (4-0), the striker gave up his place after half an hour of play.

Today he trained with the group. He did not feel any discomfort after receiving care all week.”detailed the Spanish coach, specifying that the French international will be “perfectly available” and in “perfect condition” for the trip to Clermont, Saturday (5 p.m.). If the adversity seems less for a PSG likely to temporarily regain the lead in the championship by winning, the coach recalled the importance of remaining mobilized for this match “far from comfortable” facing the red lantern.

Mbappé back to prepare for Newcastle

Kylian Mbappé will therefore not be too much at the Gabriel-Montpied stadium: with eight goals in six matches played, he is involved in half of Parisian goals this season. In his absence against OM, the Parisian attack showed progress in the game with the first pawns of Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos.

But his presence is also good news because the Rouge et Bleu must travel to Newcastle next Wednesday for their second Champions League meeting. After an average start to the season, the Magpies got back on track since the international break, scraping a point away from Milan in C1 (0-0), signing a sparkling victory on the pitch of Sheffield United in the Premier League (0- 8) and defeating the ogre Manchester City in the English League Cup (1-0).
