Superstar Kylian Mbappe is being questioned about the actual time he has to miss due to injury.
Recently, the PSG club has officially announced that the number 1 superstar Kylian Mbappe will have to miss 3 weeks of play due to an injury suffered in the 3-1 win over Montpellier recently. “After undergoing medical examinations, Kylian Mbappe was diagnosed with a muscle injury in his left thigh. The player is expected to be out for a period of three weeks.”
Before that, in the 21st minute of the match, after a dispute with the opponent’s player, Mbappe was immediately lying on the field and was in great pain. The 24-year-old striker could not continue to play and had to leave the field to make way for Hugo Ekitike.
With the above level of injury, Kylian Mbappe will certainly be absent from PSG’s important match against Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League on February 15. And this will be a huge loss for the home team of the ‘Park of the Princes’.
However, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann believes that the French striker will still play in the first leg of the 1/8 round of the Champions League, instead of having to miss as previously announced by PSG. ” I think Mbappe will still be available. I’m not sure the extent of his injury, but PSG must know very well what’s really going on. It’s too early to say he will be absent,” said the strategist. Germany said.
Even coach Nagelsmann pointed out the unclear point in PSG’s announcement, “If there is no specific information about the injury, I do not think Mbappe will be out of the game” .
In addition, the 35-year-old military leader also cited last season, when Mbappe still played in the match against Real Madrid despite being announced to be absent in advance. “Last year, everyone thought PSG played without Mbappe but then, he started from the beginning and even scored.”
Countering coach Nagelsmann, RMC Sport assured Mbappe that he would miss the match against Bayern: “Everyone sees Mbappe’s injury is not simple. PSG does not necessarily risk the number one star because after all, there are still Messi and Neymar. “.
The first leg of the Champions League between PSG and Bayern will take place on February 15 at the “Park of the Princes” stadium. Then 3 weeks will be the second leg (9/3).
