A next match Sunday in Rennes for PSG
Returning to the club in the wake of the World Cup, the two players had taken part in the two matches of PSG in Ligue 1 against Strasbourg (2-1), on December 28, and in Lens (3-1 defeat), the 1st January, before being offered ten days of vacation.
Very close, Mbappé and Hakimi have notably been seen in the United States, in New York, where the French striker was able to measure his international notoriety by attending an NBA match between the Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs.
