Ligue 1: Kylian Mbappe, Achraf Hakimi return to training with PSG after holidaying in US together

Paris: Kylian Mbappe made his return to training with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Thursday after being given time off for a holiday in the wake of his World Cup exertions, the French champions announced. PSG posted a video on social media of the 24-year-old France superstar taking to the training ground along with Morocco full-back Achraf Hakimi, as the team prepares for Sunday’s Ligue 1 game against Rennes. Both were involved until the last weekend of the World Cup. Mbappe scored a hat-trick as France lost the final on penalties to Argentina. Hakimi helped Morocco finish fourth.

Despite that, they both played in PSG’s first game following the tournament, a 2-1 victory against Strasbourg on 28 December in which Mbappe scored an injury-time winner from the penalty spot. They also played in a 3-1 defeat at Lens four days later but have missed their club’s last two outings, including Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Angers in which Lionel Messi made his return and scored. Mbappe and Hakimi instead went on holiday together, spending time in New York where they attended a game between the Brooklyn Nets and the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA.
