The absence of Mbappé contributed to Luis Enrique’s side failing to secure a goal in the match.
In an official statement, PSG confirmed that Kylian Mbappé is now back in the fold of the first-team squad after a series of productive and positive discussions took place between the player and the club ahead of the Lorient game.
The statement read, “Following very constructive, positive talks between PSG and Kylian Mbappé before the game vs Lorient, the player has been reinstated into the first team training squad this morning.”
It is important to note that Mbappé was not included in the squad for the game against Lorient, ultimately resulting in a goalless draw.

PSG’s first match of the season, now under the management of Luis Enrique, saw the team share points in a goalless draw. The attacking trio for this game comprised summer signings Lee Kang-in, Goncalo Ramos, and Marco Asensio as the team struggled to find the back of the net.
The dynamics between Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain have shifted following a lackluster start to the season. Earlier reports indicated that PSG and Mbappe were willing to revisit contract negotiations.
The situation had taken a turn as Mbappé had previously shown reluctance to activate an extension option that would keep him with the club beyond 2024. This decision would have potentially allowed him to initiate pre-contract talks with other clubs starting in the upcoming year.
