AS Saint-Etienne : Perrin left worrying aftereffects on Mbappé | ASSE News

Will Kylian Mbappé start in Nice this afternoon (1pm)? The question was asked yesterday of Thomas Tuchel as the crack PSG comes out of a quarantine imposed by the health protocol around the Covid-19.

“It brings speed, quality, creativity, and most importantly, the hunger to score. But we are talking about a player who suffered a major injury (to the ankle, in August), then a positive test for the coronavirus, so we must protect him, explained the coach of PSG at a press conference. We cannot expect too much from him. He cannot be decisive on his own, said the ex-Dortmund coach. If he plays tomorrow he will do it for us and to attack with Mauro Icardi, because the two are good together. But I’m not expecting an exceptional match. He is in a phase where he must regain his pace and confidence. “
