Kylian Mbappé suffers from a thigh injury, contracted Tuesday against Montpellier. PSG has confirmed its package for the knockout stages of the Champions League against Bayern Munich on February 14.
The black series continues for PSG as the knockout stages of the Champions League approach. His star striker Kylian Mbappé came out injured on Wednesday from the match against Montpellier and will be out of action for three weeks. He will miss the reception of Bayern Munich on February 14 in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, his club announced on Thursday February 2.
PSG No. 7 suffers “a left thigh injury” after Wednesday’s Ligue 1 match in Montpellier (3-1). He will also miss the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on Wednesday in Marseille, but his unavailability seems compatible with a return for the return match of C1 on March 8 in Bavaria.
The absence of the French for the C1 is a great loss for the PSG, as the 24-year-old striker dominates the statistical tables this season: Mbappé is currently at the top of the ranking of scorers in European competition tied with Mohamed Salah (7 goals).
Ramos also uncertain
On Wednesday, coach Christophe Galtier was nevertheless reassuring. “It’s a contusion or a hematoma, we don’t know yet. There’s not too much concern,” he said, referring to “a blow behind the knee and on the muscle”.
On Canal + images taken after the meeting, we see Mbappé commenting on his injury in the hallway of the locker room, declaring: “I injured myself on a support, I have too much pain”.
Also released on injury in Montpellier, the Spanish defender Sergio Ramos was to carry out “additional examinations” this Thursday, said PSG.
The Parisian club, still in search of its first crown in the Champions League, the ultimate objective of its Qatari owners, is currently already deprived, in defense, of Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele, while Neymar was preserved on Wednesday to recover from “muscle fatigue”.
