Kylian Mbappe caused the scare of the week when he received a terrifying tackle in Ligue 1, which, in the end, came to nothing. There were fears for the integrity of his ankle.
Despite reports that the striker may be rested for the Champions League game against Real Sociedad, Luis Enrique believes he will be fit for Saturday's game against Lille.
"He will be in the game. Today -on Friday- he didn't train, he stayed in the gym so as not to take any risks, but he will be available," said Luis Enrique at the pre-match press conference.
Of their opponents, he said that "they have individuality" and that he "loves Paulo Fonseca's style, how he attacks and defends". "It's a good test to show that we want to be competitive in every game. It will be difficult when we have the ball because they will come to press us and difficult when we don't because they will take advantage of it," he added.
"It's a time of the season when we play every three days. We plan things to always be competitive, every game is important. As a team we try to have 2 players per position of an equivalent level. We don't want to forget about certain games or consider one more important than the other, even though the Real Sociedad game is highly anticipated," he said.
