Kylian Mbappé is absent from Paris Saint-Germain's squad to face Metz on the 34th and final day of Ligue 1, and will therefore not play a final league match before leaving this summer.
Coach Luis Enrique has also opted to do without other key members of the team, such as regular captain Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The coach had made the same choice with Mbappé and Dembélé for the trip to Nice on Wednesday (2-1 victory), but PSG had indicated that both men were physically uncomfortable, which was not the case at the medical check-up broadcast on Saturday.
As for Donnarumma, he could be replaced in goal by Keylor Navas, in a form of jubilee before the former Real Madrid man's departure this summer.
"It will be a mixture" of senior players and regular substitutes, said Luis Enrique on Saturday, anxious to prepare for the French Cup final against Lyon the same day, while keeping his best players physically fit for a match with nothing at stake.
PSG have already been crowned champions and received the trophy last Sunday at the Parc des Princes.
