This international break was marked by numerous injuries such as that of Gavi with Spain or even Camavinga and Zaire-Emery with the France team. It is precisely for this reason that Didier Deschamps preferred to start Kylian Mbappé on the bench this evening against Greece, he who played the entire match against Gibraltar. To the delight of PSG, even if the captain of the Blues played the last half hour in Athens.

“Kylian, that was part of the discussions I had with the players. Him and others. I do my best to be able to protect the players involved in a match on Friday. There we will return at 5 a.m., they will already be on D-2. And next week there is the Champions League. We have to make sure not to take risks because there are already injuries.”warns Didier Deschamps in a post-match press conference.
