Kylian Mbappe has recovered from a heel injury and returned to training with Paris Saint-Germain three days before its Champions League clash against Real Sociedad, the French champion said on Sunday.
PSG came from behind to beat Lille 3-1 in Ligue 1 on Saturday, extending its lead to 11 points as Mbappe was rested.
Luis Enrique opted against taking any risks with the league’s top goal-scorer, who was an unused substitute at the Parc des Princes after suffering an ankle injury in the French Cup win over Brest in midweek.
“If it had been a final, he would have played, on Wednesday he will be 100 percent without a doubt,” Enrique said about the team captain’s form ahead of the Champions League last 16 first leg.
