Confirmation that the word “vacation” is not in Kylian Mbappe’s vocabulary. The top scorer of the World Cup, who returned to training with Paris Saint-Germain, just three days after a hat-trick in the final against Argentina, is ready to return to action. The 7th number of the capital club is in the group for the reception of Strasbourg. On his side, Christophe Galtier can also count on Neymar, who is also present at the 16th day of Ligue 1.
In this first league match since mid-November, the Parisians will also be able to count on the feedback of these other mondialists, such as Ashraf Hakimi, who returned on the same day as his friend Kylian Mbappe, or even Danilo Pereira, who was injured in the rebound, but many return to the group. Marquinhos, Carlos Soler and Pablo Sarabia will also enter this first match after the World Cup break.
Four players are missing: Presnel Kimpembe, who is absent for at least another month, Nuno Mendez, who touched the Portuguese national team, Renato Sanches, who suffered a concussion during training … And a certain Lionel Messi, whose return is expected in early January.

In the remaining 21 players called up for the match with the nineteenth number in Ligue 1, we find classics with Donnarumma, Ramos, Verratti, Ruiz… But also Iles Husny. The 17-year-old striker, who scored during the winter break (double goal against Kevily Ruan), makes his first appearance in the squad. With him we find other more familiar young Titis: Warren Zaire-Emery, El Chadail Bitshiaba and Ismael Gharbi.
