Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique remains tight-lipped about star striker Kylian Mbappé's availability for the upcoming Champions League clash with Real Sociedad. Mbappé has been dealing with a sore left ankle and was left on the bench in PSG's league game against Lille on Saturday. When asked if Mbappé would start in the first leg of their last-16 contest, Enrique responded with a brief 'Yes' during the pre-match news conference.

Enrique expressed confidence in Mbappé's fitness, stating that he could have played in the previous game if it was a final. However, the coach emphasized the need to avoid taking unnecessary risks considering it was not a decisive match. The French striker's contract with PSG expires at the end of June, and speculation continues to swirl regarding a potential move to Real Madrid, a long-time suitor for Mbappé's signature.
