Christophe Galtier has not felt the need to approach Kylian Mbappe about his role in a saga involving Paul Pogba and his brother Mathias.
Mathias last week posted videos online promising to publish great revelations about Paul, his agent and France team-mate Mbappe.
In Mathias Twitter posts, he claimed Paul had sought out a marabout to harm Mbappe with witchcraft.
The lawyers of Juventus midfielder Paul released a statement in response, claiming Mathias comments had followed threats and attempts of extortion by an organised gang against Paul Pogba .
Mbappe has not commented on his unknowing part in the affair, although it was reported he had contacted both men.
Regardless, Galtier, his Paris Saint-Germain coach, is not concerned.

Pep Guardiola is keen for Manchester City to keep Bernardo Silva beyond the end of this season, declaring he would like the see the midfielder stay forever .
Guardiola acknowledged Silva was interested in a move to Barcelona last year, but a transfer failed to materialise and the Portugal international stayed with the Premier League champions.
Silva has appeared in 27 of City s 29 league games this term, and he produced arguably his best performance of the campaign in Tuesday s 3-0 Champions League win over Bayern Munich.
While the 28-year-old will likely attract more admiring glances in the next transfer window, Guardiola wants him to stay at the Etihad Stadium for the long term.
With Bernardo, it s not the first season we are together. What he is on a…
Milan s Urby Emanuelson has underlined his desire to nail down a starting berth at left-back with the Italian club this season.
The 27-year-old has failed to regularly secure first-team football at the San Siro since his arrival in January 2011, and spent the latter half of last season on loan with Premier League outfit Fulham.
But he is keen to prove his worth in 2013-14 by seeing off competition from fellow full-back Kevin Constant for a place in Massimiliano Allegri s team.
It is important for me that I play this season, he said. I am back at Milan and the coach has used me as a left-back so far.
I think that would be my position for this season. There is a good rivalry between Kevin Constant and myself for the full-back spot, but Kevin is a friend, we talk a …
Celtic manager Neil Lennon believes his side s UEFA Champions League group draw is simultaneously the best and worst possible outcome.
The Scottish club have been drawn alongside Barcelona, Milan and Ajax in Group H, with their opponents boasting a combined total of 15 victories in the competition s history between them.
And, although Lennon believes the fixtures have plenty of prestige, he admits Celtic s chances of progression are threatened by the standing of their opponents.
I think it’s the best and the worst of draws, he told Sky Sports News. In terms of glamour, I don’t think it gets any better. In terms of football, it’s going to be hugely difficult.
They are three great clubs with fantastic pedigree and the fans can look forward to three more great…
The Prismatic Shard is one of the rarest minerals in Stardew Valley, worth a decent chunk of change and useful in many ways. While you will need to find one to complete the Museum collection, it might be a while before you actually get one. There are a few different places you can find a Prismatic Shard, although many of those avenues have very low odds of it actually appearing.
How to get Prismatic Shard
The best place to find a Prismatic Shard is in the Skull Cavern. There is a small chance to find the Prismatic Shard in mystery boxes and fishing treasure chests, but mining in the Skull Cavern covers many of the other possible ways for it to drop.
It has a decent chance to appear in a Mystic Stone, which can appear in the mines …
Nice returned to the top of Ligue 1 after Valentin Eysseric s strike against his former club sealed a 1-0 win at Saint-Etienne.
Eysseric, who spent last season on loan with Saint-Etienne, scored the winner on 63 minutes, firing a left-footed strike into the top corner after Jordan Veretout had lost possession in a dangerous area for the hosts.
Nice s victory which came without the suspended Mario Balotelli and injured captain Paul Baysse sees them restore a three-point gap over Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain at the top after both of their title rivals had won their games.
Lucien Favre s men had suffered their first league defeat of the season away to Caen last time out and avoided losing two straight league games – something they have not done since April 2015.…
A serious-looking injury to Luca Antonelli marred a difficult game for AC Milan as they were beaten 1-0 by Udinese on Sunday.
Stipe Perica struck in the 88th minute to snatch all three points for the visitors and end a run of nine away games against Milan without a win.
Vincenzo Montella s side were looking to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Napoli last month, but were unable to test Orestis Karnezis in the Udinese goal sufficiently despite dominating possession at a stifling San Siro.
A disappointing result was marred by a worrying moment involving Antonelli, who was carried off following lengthy treatment on the pitch after he took a hit at a corner.
Jose Sosa came closest for Milan, striking the crossbar from 18 yards, but they struggled to fashion serv…
Julian Nagelsmann appeared to confirm reports he is not a candidate to become Chelsea s new head coach.
Nagelsmann was surprisingly sacked by Bayern Munich last month, with Thomas Tuchel replacing him as the Bavarian giants try to fend off Borussia Dortmund s challenge for their Bundesliga title.
Having won plenty of admirers during successful spells with Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig before leading Bayern to the Bundesliga title last season, Nagelsmann was immediately touted as a potential permanent successor to Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge.
Nagelsmann reportedly held talks with Chelsea over taking the job at the end of the campaign, but widespread reports on Friday suggested he had withdrawn from the running.
Asked about those reports by Sky Sports in …
Best Odds: 7/10
Bookmaker:
Knowing that they must turn around the deficit on Thursday night, Tottenham will welcome Paços Ferreira to North London for the second-leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier.
Tottenham
Starting with the hosts, shocking many across Europe as they were hit with that 1-0 loss out in Portugal last week, there is no doubt that Tottenham would have been glad to make an immediate return to winning ways. With new boss Nuno Espírito Santo taking his squad to former employers Wolves on Sunday afternoon, the North London outfit picked up a 1-0 win on the road, despite being heavily outplayed in the Midlands. Opening up the 2021/22 campaign with back-to-back Premier League victories after that stunning 1-0 win against defending Premier…
CSKA Moscow has emerged as a strong contender to acquire Japanese midfielder Keisuke Honda of VVV Venlo, reportedly outbidding Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven, media reports say.
The Russian outfit has set aside an estimated six million euros (8.6 million dollars) as the transfer fee for the 23-year-old, the Sports Nippon newspaper said.
Dutch giants PSV and Ajax are still seen as among the most likely buyers of the Japanese star, who has previously suggested Liverpool was interested in him, but the newspaper said CSKA s offer was more attractive than PSV s.
Honda recently told reporters that he has a new team in mind, after reviewing several offers.
I have to make my decision within the next few days, the Nikkan Sports quoted him as saying after a pract…
