Hard blow for PSG. Their star striker, Kylian Mbappé, injured in a thigh, is forfeited for the Bayern Munich match scheduled for February 14 in the eighth leg of the Champions League. The club also announced that the player is out for an estimated three weeks.
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 second leg against Bayern 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).
On Wednesday, coach Christophe Galtier was nevertheless 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, specified the 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".
