Where is Ethan Mbappé? After making his return to competition on September 14, against Toulouse, the 18-year-old midfielder relapsed. Operated on a severe hamstring injury at the end of April, the little brother of “Kyk’s” felt discomfort in the same place on the sidelines of Losc’s victory over Metz (6-1) on October 26.
Absent from the field since this relapse, the former Parisian returned to the collective training of the Mastiffs during this international window. Good news for Bruno Genesio, who hopes to be able to count on the Montreuil native until the winter break.
“Ethan resumed this week with us, partially on the sessions », indicated the northern coach at a press conference this Friday, and added: “ He’s feeling pretty good, that’s good news for him and for us. I hope he will be able to continue until the winter break. He is an important player, who has not managed to continue. He really has interesting potential and I would like him to be able to express it over a longer period of time. »
Five Lille packages for the Paris FC reception
It now remains to be seen whether Bruno Genesio will summon Ethan Mbappé for the reception of Paris FC, Sunday evening, at the end of the 13e day of Ligue 1. One thing is certain: he will not take any risks with his young midfielder. The former OL coach also records the return of Nathan Ngoy, who has been resting for three weeks.
On the other hand, Genesio will not be able to count on Marc-Aurèle Caillard (elbow) Ousmane Touré (knee) and Alexsandro (quadriceps), who left for Qatar to continue his convalescence. Suspended, Benjamin André and Calvin Verdonk will also not be present against the PFC.
