It seems that Paris Saint-Germain is gradually adjusting to playing without their star forward Kylian Mbappé and is increasingly giving him less playing time in Ligue 1.

After the forward informed the club president that he does not plan to extend his contract with the French champions, the team's head coach, Luis Enrique, has been more inclined to leave him on the bench or substitute him during matches.

Currently, the 25th round match of the French Ligue 1 is underway, with PSG playing away against Reims. Kylian Mbappé started this match on the bench and did not appear on the field during the first half.

In the previous match against Monaco, he played only one half, and before that, he spent 64 minutes on the field against Rennes, 29 minutes against Nantes, while watching the game against Lille from the bench.

The last time Mbappé played a full match in Ligue 1 was on February 2nd, a week before announcing his departure.

It is important to note that the limited playing time only applies to matches in Ligue 1. In the two matches of the Champions League Round of 16, the French forward played the full 180 minutes.
