Striker Kylian Mbappé, in conflict with the board of Paris Saint Germainwas unrelated to the team’s debut in French Championship this Saturday, against Lorient, in the Parc des Princes. Neymar, on the other hand, is out of pocket due to a virus, announced the club.
Mbappé has been training separately from the group since announcing his intention to stay at PSG until the end of his contract in June 2024, without extending it. As a result, he only played in one of five pre-season games and missed out on the tour of Japan and South Korea.
Already Neymar, who suffers from a “viral syndrome” according to PSG, may be leaving the club, which is willing to study “any satisfactory offer” for the Brazilian.

Italian Marco Verratti, another on the negotiable list, was also not named for the first game of the season.
In the case of Mbappé, both parties are still unyielding, two months after the start of the arm wrestling match: PSG wants to sell the player before the window closes, on September 1, if he refuses to renew; Meanwhile, the number 7 claims he has no intention of leaving the club before the end of his contract.
Without Mbappé and Neymar, PSG’s attack will be completely experimental in this first round of Ligue 1. Coach Luis Enrique can promote the debuts in the sector of South Korean Lee Kang-In, Portuguese Gonçalo Ramos and Spaniard Marco Asensio, all newly -contracted.
