Faces late fitness test Sunday Mbappe (groin) has trained Saturday but will be facing a late fitness test ahead of Sunday's match versus Reims, according to coach Mauricio Pochettino. Impact Mbappe missed four consecutive practices heading into Saturday but his participation in both last sessions has been a very positive sign. Pochettino expressed his satisfaction with the way the injury has evolved over the week and the striker seems bound to make the bench at least. That being said though, with Lionel Messi returning Parisians may choose to be cautious with their young stud and keep him limited especially given the break is just around the corner. Mauro Icardi could lead the line again.
