Christophe Galtier says Paris Saint-Germain will not break their front three of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi if they do not have to.
The trio have helped fire the Ligue 1 champions to a superb start to the season despite continued noise around Mbappe s future.
Former Barcelona duo Neymar and Messi have both returned to top form, with 22 and 23 goal involvements respectively.
Ahead of this weekend s encounter with Troyes, Galtier acknowledged a hectic schedule could force a reshuffle in attack, but he hopes all three superstars will be fit to feature again.
It s their state of fatigue that will judge whether they play, the coach said. They have scored 40 goals out of 50 for us this season, so it won t be based on their state of form.
When we have this dynamic, we don t break it, we maintain it. The medical staff have done an excellent job in recent weeks. They are fine. When there is this dynamic, it is maintained.
Training ahead of !

A midweek Champions League rout against Maccabi Haifa, where the Mbappe, Neymar and Messi netted a combined five goals in a 7-2 win, ensured PSG head into next week s final Group H fixture guaranteed of progression to the knockout stages.
But whether they are seeded or not depends on their result with Juventus, with Galtier recognising the need to strike a balance between domestic and European commitments.
We have an obligation to win against Troyes, he added. There will also be a lot at stake in the middle of the week in Turin. Over the duration of the match, there is the possibility of involving other players.
