Football News: France superstar Didier Deschamps asks PSG boss to spare Kylian Mbappe ahead of World Cup

The manager of the French national team has requested that his superstar be allowed to 'breathe' between games. Still, the PSG manager has not considered relegating perhaps his finest player to the bench.

In November and December, the club football season will be suspended for the World Cup in Qatar. Still, managers are anxious about the availability of players due to a relentless match schedule.

Mbappe has scored ten goals in nine games this season and has missed only one league match while appearing in France's final two Nations League group stage games.

In November and December, the club football season will be suspended for the World Cup in Qatar. Still, managers are anxious about the availability of players due to a relentless match schedule.

While in conversation with a French outlet, Deschamps showed his concern for the youngster, "I know he [Galtier] still wants to play Kylian. But from time to time, to be able to breathe a little bit, to have a few good minutes less, it won't fail him - quite the contrary."

Does the current PSG team need Kylian Mbappe?

Mbappe has been instrumental in PSG's strong start to the season under new manager Galtier, making it difficult to see a scenario in which he is rested and rotated.

The 23-year-old's unmistakable world-class quality, which he brings to an already star-studded squad, may not be severely missed in Ligue 1.

However, his team still has four Champions League matches remaining, in which Galtier will undoubtedly field his most robust lineup to maximize their chances of advancing.

Mbappe's teammates Neymar and Lionel Messi will also be crucial to the success of their respective teams in the tournament, as they have combined for an incredible 43 goals and assists.

The former Monaco speedster was instrumental in Les Bleus winning the 2018 World Cup in Russia and has been the key to Deschamps' success as France's manager.

If they intend to match that accomplishment in Qatar, he will need to be fresh and perform at his best.

Mbappe has played 767 out of 810 minutes in nine games, illustrating how reluctant the French manager is to risk not employing his most potent attacking outlet, despite not being in the squad for the season's opening match.

The Frenchman has played the full 90 minutes in both of PSG's two Champions League group stage matches thus far. The burden is on him and PSG to deliver in Europe only since they have not won the Champions League since their rise to prominence in football over the past decade.

Mbappe is a pivotal figure for France and will be crucial to Les Bleus' World Cup chances.

Deschamps will want his attacker to be in peak condition for the competition in Qatar, but he is aware that clubs have a crowded schedule before the tournament begins in November. Before the World Cup, PSG will play 11 times in Ligue 1 before the competition is suspended.
