PSG officially announced Kylian Mbappé’s package on Thursday February 2 for the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Bayern.
“Too bad”. Coming out on Wednesday February 1 against Montpellier, Kylian Mbappe indicated having “too much pain” on “a support”. After limping back to Paris, the exams taken this Thursday, February 2 confirmed a muscle injury to the left thigh for the French international. In a press release, PSG announced a three-week absence and therefore a package for the round of 16 first leg against Bayern on February 14.
Very quickly, pessimism was in order. At the end of the meeting, the Paris coach Christophe Galtier had nevertheless given reassuring news, explaining that it did not seem to be too serious.
“For Mbappé, it’s the same. He took a blow behind the knee and on the muscle. Is it a contusion or a hematoma, we don’t know yet. But with the sequence of matches, they don’t want to take any risks since we have a very busy schedule. It doesn’t seem very serious for either of them. We’ll see. They’re very important. On what we saw at the half-time and what we said to each other after the match, there is not too much concern. But, as we play every three days…”
Unfortunately, after the exams, he is therefore already forfeited for Toulouse this Saturday, Marseille next Wednesday in the Coupe de France and also very probably for the trip to Monaco, in 10 days and therefore Bayern.
