Paris Saint-Germain is overtaken by its old demons. One week before facing Real Sociedad at the Parc des Princes in the 1/8 final first leg of the UEFA Champions League (February 14, 9 p.m.), the capital club lives with fear in its stomach. As is often the case, the French champions are not spared from physical problems in the run-up to these major European meetings. This most often concerned Neymar Jr. Kylian Mbappé also gave his club a cold sweat last year when he was injured three weeks before the first leg against Bayern Munich.
The Frenchman, who suffered from a left thigh injury, was finally able to come on for 34 minutes against the Germans on February 14, 2023 (1-0 defeat). A year later, we wonder if the captain of the Blues will be able to hold his position against the Basques, he who is the only star of the team since the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar last summer. Yesterday, KM7, scorer against Brest, was the victim of a nasty tackle from Lilian Brassier. The footage of his ankle spinning was impressive. But the Frenchman was able to resume the game, appearing to limp, before going out.
PSG remains cautious
(At a press conference, Luis Enrique gave news about the player)(https://www.footmercato.net/a9019638177222514687-psg-brest-luis-enrique-donne-des-nouvelles-de-kylian-mbappe. “The truth is that I have no news. Doctors will observe him tomorrow (Thursday). He took a big hit to the ankle, but he was able to finish the match, and I don’t think it was very serious.” The Parisian striker will have to pass exams, he who will do his best to be present on the field next week. But his condition still worries internally. RMC Sport explains that he stayed in the locker room for a very long time yesterday after the final whistle so that his ankle could be examined more closely. The first feedback was rather reassuring.
But the French media adds that Luis Enrique’s staff wants to remain cautious with the French star a few days before a crucial meeting. In Spain, Mbappé’s condition panics the press before the C1. The show El Chiringuito indicated that the Frenchman is afraid for his ankle a week before facing Real Sociedad. One of the columnists on set questioned Mbappé more broadly. In the coming months, what will happen if the 25-year-old is seriously injured when he is due to sign for Madrid? We’re not there yet. Mbappé will heal and there is no doubt that he will do everything to play the match against the Basques.
