Kylian Mbappe and Adrien Rabiot were left on the Paris Saint-Germain bench for Sunday’s clash with Marseille due to disciplinary reasons, Goal can confirm.
When the PSG starting XI for the match against OM was revealed, there was widespread surprise as the pair were missing from the panel.
Mbappe’s form, in particular, has been red hot this season, having netted 14 goals in 15 games for club and country. However, Eric Maxim Choupo Moting was preferred to him from the outset of the derby match by head coach Thomas Tuchel, with the former Stoke City forward having yet to net since moving to the club in the summer.
