Very fit during the preparation matches, Kylian Mbappé (21) approached with optimism the official resumption of the end of the season with Paris Saint-Germain. Unfortunately for him, he only stayed for half an hour on the Stade de France lawn. Hit in the ankle after a tackle from Loïc Perrin, the Ile-de-France striker had left the field looking bad on bad days, before reappearing on crutches.

From then on, a race against the clock had started to know if the former Monegasque would be put back on his feet for the shock against Atalanta in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This afternoon, it’s the cold shower. “As announced after the final of the Coupe de France against Saint-Étienne, Kylian Mbappé took exams on Monday in order to know the evolution of his right ankle injury. The imaging workup performed today confirms a sprained ankle with external ligament injury. Following this trauma, the recovery time is estimated at around 3 weeks ”, indicates the club of the capital on its official website.
A huge blow for the Red-and-Blue and the international tricolor (34 caps, 13 goals) since the quarter-final against Atalanta scheduled for August 12 in Lisbon will take place in just over two weeks. Definitely, after Neymar’s physical glitches against Real Madrid in 2017/2018 and against Manchester United in 2018/2019, PSG must still deplore the withdrawal of one of its two offensive cracks during a decisive shock in the Champions League .
