Ethan Mbappé's ordeal continues. Transferred free last summer on the side of Lille, Kylian's little brother lives difficult moments in the North, due to his body. After having contracted an ankle sprain in July, the 18-year-old midfielder chained with a problem with adductors (August-September), before staying away from the fields for almost four months due to a quadriceps breakup .
Back in the Lille group at the end of January, Ethan Mbappé must once again go back by the infirmary box in this month of February, this time affected by muscle discomfort. A new blow for the former Parisian, who showed beautiful things on the green rectangle some times it was available. But despite these repeated injuries, Bruno Genesio is counting on him for the end of the season.
“This is one of the difficult times of a career”
“It's a shame because he was on a very large period. He had well assimilated his preparation and was on a phase of progression when he injured (rupture of the quadriceps, at the end of September, editor's note). He had to undergo surgery, which is never easy. And after his return, he suffers again from a small glitch but it is nothing serious. He should also be able to return to training in the coming days ”said the Coach of the DOGUES on Friday at a press conference, confirming in passing the package of Ethan Mbappé for the shock against Monaco this Saturday (5 p.m.).
“” Injury is one of the difficult times of a career, added Genesio. We feel a little bit outside the group when we are injured. We come at different times. We do not participate in training sessions, green bets, not in matches … But it is a very young player, we are there to accompany him for rethletics as well as for everything related to prevention to avoid this kind of things. The advantage is that when you are young like that, you recover faster, continues the Lille coach. He will have an end of the season during which he will have a card to play. Ethan Mbappé could return to competition against his old club, PSG, next weekend at the Parc des Princes.
