Mbappé Injury Sparks Worry Ahead of Champions League Match

Paris Saint-Germain fans were left in shock after a photo emerged of star forward Kylian Mbappé leaving the stadium with an apparent thigh injury. The injury has sparked worry among supporters ahead of the first leg of their Champions League tie against Bayern Munich. Mbappé, who is widely regarded as one of the best players in world football, was seen leaving the stadium on crutches and with his right thigh heavily bandaged. Reports suggest that he suffered a muscle strain during training and will be assessed by PSG’s medical staff over the coming days to determine the extent of his injury. The news comes as a major blow to PSG’s hopes for success in this season’s Champions League campaign, with Mbappé having been instrumental in their run to last year’s final. He has scored 15 goals in all competitions this season and is considered key to any chance PSG have at progressing past Bayern Munich and into the quarterfinals. PSG manager Thomas Tuchel refused to comment on Mbappé’s injury when asked about it following his team’s win over Lille on Saturday night but admitted that he was “worried” about his star player. He said: “We are all worried about Kylian because we know how important he is for us but we will have to wait until tomorrow [Sunday] before we can make any decisions or give any updates on his condition." The club also released a statement confirming that they would be assessing Mbappé's injury over the next few days before making any decisions regarding his availability for Wednesday's match against Bayern Munich. They said: “Kylian Mbappe sustained an injury during training today [Saturday]. He will undergo further tests tomorrow [Sunday] which will determine if he is available for selection for Wednesday's match against Bayern Munich." It remains unclear whether or not Mbappé will be fit enough to play in Wednesday's game but what is certain is that without him, PSG face an uphill battle against one of Europe's strongest teams. With both sides desperate for victory, it promises to be an exciting clash regardless of who takes part - although it could be even more thrilling if Mbappé makes a miraculous recovery in time for kick-off!
