Paris Saint-Germain held their breath. But the capital club can now sleep peacefully. This Wednesday evening at the Parc des Princes during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Brest (3-1 victory), Kylian Mbappé left the pitch grimacing.
The Parisian striker was the victim of a violent tackle from Brest defender Lilian Brassier in the second period. Despite this attack, the captain of the Blues finished the match.
However, at the end of the game, number 7 felt some pain and took exams. Expected to be out of the group for the match against LOSC this Saturday evening, the situation could ultimately be different.
Indeed, according to the medical press release from Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé should indeed be present for the reception of the Palo Fonseca team in League 1. However, the red and blue striker will remain in the room during the training of the day. Good news for the Ile-de-France club.
On the bench against Lille?
Although he should appear in Luis Enrique’s group, Kylian Mbappé could nevertheless take his place on the substitute bench when the game kicks off. The red and blue staff do not want to take any risks before the crucial meeting against Real Sociedad this Wednesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.
Facing the Basques, KM7 will be the key Parisian element. Unless the situation changes, he should start at the forefront of the attack alongside Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé.
