Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique said on Tuesday that he expects Kylian Mbappe to be unhindered by a recent ankle knock when his side face Real Sociedad in their Champions League last-16 first leg.
Mbappe was rested for PSG's Ligue 1 win over Lille over the weekend to make sure he was fully fit for Wednesday's clash against La Real at the Parc des Princes.
When a team has a player at the level of Kylian Mbappe, the more he plays, the better it is for the team," Luis Enrique told a pre-match press conference.
"He could have played four days ago, but it wasn't worth the risk."
PSG are bidding to avoid a third consecutive last-16 exit from the Champions League.
Mbappe has scored 30 goals for the club in all competitions this season, and teammate Fabian Ruiz is confident he will be raring to go.
"I am sure Mbappe is going to have a great match," said Spain midfielder Ruiz.
"He received a knock, but he trained yesterday and today he is in good shape to play."Mbappe is out of contract with the French champions in June and has been heavily linked with finally making a move to Real Madrid.
But Luis Enrique refused to consider whether the match against Sociedad could prove to be Mbappe's last Champions League game at the Parc des Princes.
"Potential last game? No. That's not the way I feel it and therefore I feel neither joy nor sadness, it's business as usual," he said.
