The Star striker of Paris Saint-Germain Kylian Mbappé, injured in a thigh, is unavailable for an estimated period of three weeks and will miss the reception of Bayern Munich on February 14 in the round of 16 go to the Champions League, announced his club Thursday, February 2.
The number 7 of PSG suffers “from a lesion of the left thigh” after being injured during the Ligue 1 meeting on Wednesday in Montpellier (3-1). He will also miss the eighth finals of the French Cup on Wednesday in Marseille but his unavailability seems compatible with a return for the return match of C1, March 8 in Bavaria.
The absence of French for the C1 is a great loss for PSG, as the 24 -year -old striker dominates statistical tables this season: Mbappé is currently at the top of the classification of the scorers of the European competition equally with Mohamed Salah (7 goals).

On Wednesday, coach Christophe Galtier was however reassuring. “It is a contusion or a hematoma, we do not yet know. There is not too much concern,” he said, evoking “a blow behind the knee and on the muscle”. On images of Canal+ taken after the meeting, we see Mbappé commenting on his injury in the hallway of the locker room, declaring: “I injured myself on a support, I have too much pain”.
Also released on injury to Montpellier, the Spanish defender Sergio Ramos was to carry out “additional examinations” this Thursday, the PSG said. The Parisian club, still in search of its first coronation in the Champions League, an ultimate objective of its Qataris owners, is currently already deprived, in defense, of Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele, while Neymar was preserved on Wednesday to recover from a “muscle fatigue”.
