Paris St-Germain boss Luis Enrique said his side have to “get used to playing without Kylian Mbappe” as the striker was substituted in the draw with Rennes.

The France international has agreed to join Real Madrid in the summer.

He was taken off in the 65th minute against Rennes after failing to add to his 21 goals this season.

“We have to get used to not playing with Kylian, sooner or later it’s going to happen,” Enrique said.

“When I consider it appropriate, he will play or not play, as all coaches do with their players.

“I want maximum competitiveness for next season. I want every starting player in this PSG team to think that this is a great opportunity. That’s what I’m looking for this season and next season.”

Goncalo Ramos rescued a point for the Ligue 1 leaders with a stoppage-time penalty after Amine Gouiri scored a first-half opener for Rennes.

PSG are unbeaten in their last 18 league matches and are 11 points clear at the top, with 54 points from 23 games.

Rennes, meanwhile, are seventh.
