Paris St-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique stated that his team needs to “adapt to playing without Kylian Mbappe” following the forward’s substitution during the draw against Rennes.
The French international has consented to move to Real Madrid in the summer.
He was substituted in the 65th minute against Rennes after being unable to increase his tally of 21 goals this season.
“We have to get used to not playing with Kylian, sooner or later it’s going to happen,” Enrique said.
“When I consider it appropriate, he will play or not play, as all coaches do with their players.
“I want maximum competitiveness for next season. I want every starting player in this PSG team to think that this is a great opportunity. That’s what I’m looking for this season and next season.”
Goncalo Ramos secured a point for the top-ranked team in Ligue 1 with a stoppage-time penalty, following Amine Gouiri’s first-half opener for Rennes.
PSG remains undefeated in their last 18 league matches and enjoys an 11-point lead at the summit, accumulating 54 points from 23 games.
Meanwhile, Rennes currently occupies the seventh position.
