For three weeks, Kylian Mbappe will be sidelined. The medical exams that the French international had on Thursday provide proof of this.
The PSG star sustained a thigh injury while helping his team defeat Montpellier. He is virtually certainly going to miss the Champions League round of 16 encounter against Bayern Munich barring a miraculous recovery.
In a statement issued early on Thursday afternoon, PSG disclosed the full nature of their player’s injuries.
“Following examinations, Kylian Mbappe has suffered an injury to his left thigh at the level of the biceps femoris. He is expected to be unavailable for three weeks,” they said.
In the league match on Wednesday against Montpellier, where he also missed a penalty, Kylian Mbappe suffered an injury. When it had to be retaken, Mbappe sent the ball against the post after Lecomte had first saved it. He had to be replaced in the 21st minute. Hugo Ekitike replaced him after a harsh tackle from Leo Leroy rendered him unable to continue.
Mbappe will miss at least four games as the season moves into its pivotal stage based on the recuperation times predicted by PSG. He will be sidelined for the encounter against Toulouse on Saturday, the Coupe de France match against Marseille the following Wednesday, the match against Monaco on February 11, and the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 match against Bayern on February 14 at Parc des Princes.
In order to ascertain the full degree of his ailment, Sergio Ramos, who also exited from the encounter against Montpellier due to physical issues, will undergo additional testing.
