Kylian Mbappe suffered the consequences of the tense ‘fight’ with PSG in the summer transfer, but now it’s too late. The 24-year-old striker is the main source of goals for PSG this season, with 7 goals in 6 appearances. However, according to L’Equipe, Mbappe has not yet reached 100% fitness this season.

The root cause is that from the noisy match with PSG, Mbappe announced that he would not activate the contract extension and would only stay until next summer. As a result, he was punished by PSG by not being allowed to practice and play for the first team in the pre-season preparation phase as well as on the opening day of Ligue 1 this year.

 

Mbappe returned to play for PSG in the recent draw with Clermont after being injured in the previous match with Marseille. He will be ready with his teammates for the trip to Newcastle at 2:00 a.m. on October 5, the second match of Group F of C1 Cup.

However, according to the above source, missing the pre-season with PSG has affected Mbappe’s ability to recover between matches. This will affect the French captain’s explosiveness on the field, once he has not reached full physical strength. This is truly unfortunate.

 

Not to mention, in the current PSG team, Mbappe will have to shoulder more responsibility when there is no longer flexible creativity from Messi and Neymar.In addition to the main responsibility of scoring goals for the team, Mbappe must also take on the role of “playmaker” for PSG. And that will be a real burden, if Mbappe does not reach full fitness, the price of ‘fighting’ PSG, being exiled to practice with a group of ‘out’ players.

 

However, it is believed that Mbappe will solve this problem over time after each match for PSG. Mbappe and PSG are currently entering into new contract negotiations, in which President Al-Khelaifi confidently stated that the Ligue 1 champions will successfully retain their No. 1 star.
