Galtier will make a last-minute decision on Mbappe as he is included in the squad to face Bayern
Mbappe is back in training but his inclusion in the Bayern clash is not a given.
Cristophe Galtier has included Mbappe in PSG’s squad for their Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich. However, whether he will figure in the match or not is yet to be decided as his fitness isn’t a sure thing as of now.
"He's done everything possible to make himself available for this match,"
Galtier said during a press conference before the Bayern game.
"He's trained the day before the match and felt good.
"We'll see tomorrow morning how he feels. The first person I'll listen to will be Kylian, then I'll make the wisest decision. He won't be on the bench to make up the numbers."
"I'm surprised to see him back, yes. But we know Kylian's ability to recover faster than some," Galtier added.
"He trained as part of the team and was there for the whole session. His post-training feedback is very positive. But whether he'll be on the team sheet, I don't know."
While
Messiand Mbappe are back in training, Neymar who was present at the press conference, wished that Mbappe could be fit to play.
"He's an extremely important player, a great player,"
Neymar said.
"When the three of us are together, we feel very strong. He told me he felt good. These are good signs."
With
PSGlosing 3 of their last 7 matches and now an important Champions League clash on the way, Galtier is under a lot of pressure. But the Frenchman thinks he can deal with it.
"There is always pressure when you are a PSG coach, even more so in the Champions League,"
he said.
"I don't think about my future at all. I am determined.
"The team I field tomorrow will look different to the one against Monaco. In these major games, I know my players know how to raise their level of play and their standards."
