PSG Sweating Over Kylian Mbappe's Fitness

PSG are concerned about the fitness of Kylian Mbappe.

The Frenchman was limped off the 3-1 win over Metz with a thigh injury.

He is a crucial part of the team’s Champions League ambitions and PSG are due to face Manchester City next. Mbappe played his part in this week’s win, scoring twice before Mauro Icardi’s penalty sealed all three points for The Parisians. They are now back on top of Ligue 1.

Mauricio Pochettino, however, will be desperate to see Mbappe return. He was noticeably in pain when he clutched onto his knee on Saturday. If he is unfit for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, it could be hugely damaging for PSG.

Last season, the Ligue 1 champions reached the finals and lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich. This season they made amends by beating the Germans in the quarter-finals on away goals. Mbappe scored against them just like he did against Barcelona in the previous round.

Mbappe has previously scored against Manchester City while he was still playing for AS Monaco in 2017.
