Paris Saint-Germain have made a notable choice regarding their star forward, Kylian Mbappe.
The club has decided not to include the Frenchman in their squad for the upcoming pre-season tour in Japan as they intensify their preparations for the new season.
Despite his impressive performance, coming off the bench to score in PSG's initial pre-season match against Le Havre on July 21, which resulted in a 2-0 victory with Hugo Ekitike netting the other goal, Mbappe will not be part of the team travelling to Japan.
According to GFFN, PSG arrived at the decision to leave their star attacker out of their pre-season tour of Japan on Friday evening.
