PSG manager Christophe Galtier on resting Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe
PSG manager Christophe Galtier recently said that his decision to rest Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe will depend on whether the trio are fatigued or not.
All three players have featured in most of the games for the Parisians so far this season and have scored the lion's share of PSG's goals this season. When quizzed on the rotation policy of the trio, Galtier told the media ahead of the game against Troyes (via RMC Sport):
"It's their state of fatigue that will judge. They have scored 40 goals out of 50 this season, so it won't be based on their state of form. When we have this dynamic, we don't break it, we maintain it."
Galtier added:
"The medical staff have done an excellent job in recent weeks. They are fine, after that there is the reality of the match. We have an obligation to win against Troyes. There will also be a lot at stake in the middle of the week in Turin.”
PSG are currently on top of Group H on goal difference (+8) and level on points with Benfica (11). They will be looking to register a win on the final matchday to finish top of the group.
