Kylian Mbappé will miss the first leg against Bayern Munich in the Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain star striker Kylian Mbappé, injured in the left thigh, is unavailable for an estimated period of three weeks. He will therefore miss the reception of Bayern Munich on February 14 in the knockout stages of the Champions League, his club announced on Thursday February 2.

PSG number 7 suffers from "a left thigh injury" after being injured in Wednesday's Ligue 1 meeting in Montpellier (3-1). He will also miss the round of 16 of the Coupe de France which will be played on Wednesday in Marseille, but his unavailability seems compatible with a return for the C1 return match on March 8 in Bavaria.

The Frenchman's absence for the C1 is a great loss for PSG, as the 24-year-old striker dominates the statistical tables this season: Mbappé is currently at the top of the scoring charts in European competition, tied with Mohamed Salah ( 7 goals).

Several absent in the Parisian locker room

On Wednesday, coach Christophe Galtier was however reassuring. "It's a contusion or hematoma, we don't know yet. Not too much to worry about," he said, referring to "a blow behind the knee and on the muscle." In Canal footage taken after the game, Mbappé is seen commenting on his injury in the locker room hallway, saying: "I hurt myself on a support, I'm in 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. Neymar, meanwhile, was spared on Wednesday to recover from "muscle fatigue".
