Mbappé called up for Sunday's game away to Reims
L'Equipe have confirmed that Mauricio Pochettino has called up Kylian Mbappe as part of the traveling Paris Saint-Germain squad ahead of Sunday's game.
Kylian Mbappe has not asked to leave Paris Saint-Germain and will be involved in Sunday’s trip to Reims, head coach Mauricio Pochettino said in Saturday's press conference. Later during the day, L'Equipe confirmed the news that the striker will travel to Reims for Sunday's Ligue 1 clash.
Mbappe has been heavily linked with a blockbuster move to Real Madrid during this transfer window.
According to widespread reports, Madrid have offered €170million plus €10million in add-ons to sign the 22-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract with PSG.
Mbappe, who has scored 133 times in 174 games for the French giants, trained on Saturday ahead of the clash with Reims.
Pochettino also revealed that Lionel Messi and Neymar would play a part at Stade Auguste-Delaune.
"They will certainly all be in the squad, so we will see if they are in the starting 11 tomorrow," the head coach said.
"Kylian Mbappe is working very hard and is preparing for tomorrow's game.
"In terms of communications with our president and sporting director, they have made it clear what the club's stance is in this regard."
When asked whether Mbappe had expressed his desire to leave the club, Pochettino replied: "No."
PSG have made a 100 per cent start to the Ligue 1 season, winning all three of their matches so far.
