Kylian Mbappé could start on the bench against Atalanta Bergamo

Back to collective training with PSG after his ankle sprain on July 24 against Saint-Etienne, Kylian Mbappé gives many positive signals which should allow him to claim a place in the group for Atalanta. But not from there to start the quarter-final.

Since this poorly controlled tackle by Loïc Perrin on Kylian Mbappé in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue, which earned the first an exclusion for the last match of his career and the second a sprained ankle, PSG is engaged in a race against the clock to get his French international back on his feet as quickly as possible. The latter chained the sprints and integrated the collective session last night but the Parisian club would not want to take risks for a possible semi-final. This is how the native of Bondy should sit on the bench Wednesday evening while his team will try to do the “job”. In the event that the Parisian formation struggled to get rid of Atalanta, it would not be surprising to see the number 7 come back to put some disorder on the Italian side.

During the last set-up made by Thomas Tuchel, the Spanish midfielder was aligned alongside Marquinhos, who should occupy the post of sentry, a habit in major meetings, and Idrissa Gueye. Leandro Paredes, who had been gaining momentum for some time, would therefore take place on the substitutes’ bench. As a reminder, Marco Verratti is injured and Angel Di Maria will be suspended for Wednesday’s game.
