Hit in the ankle against Montpellier, the PSG striker will miss the first shock of the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The big tile. The ax fell this Thursday afternoon and that does not bode well for Paris SG. Kylian Mbappé, injured in a thigh, is unavailable for an estimated period of three weeks and will miss the reception of Bayern Munich on February 14 in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.
The N.7 of PSG suffers “left thigh injury“After Wednesday’s Ligue 1 meeting in Montpellier (3-1). He will also miss the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on Wednesday in Marseille, as well as the matches against Toulouse and Monaco in Ligue 1, but his unavailability seems compatible with a return for the return match of C1, March 8 in Bavaria.
Mbappé, top scorer in the Champions League this season
Still, this package hurts the Parisian club, which will be deprived of its best element, at the top of the scoring charts in C1 (7 achievements, tied with Mohamed Salah) for the most important meeting of its debut of year. With this absence, Christophe Galtier should trust, except injury, Lionel Messi and Neymar, injured and absent Wednesday evening in Montpellier, to guide the Parisian attack.
