JAKARTA - Striker Kylian Mbappe is doubtful for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) when they play the second leg of the Champions League last 16 against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid, Tuesday night local time.
Quoted by Antara from football-italy, Tuesday, according to reports from Le Parisiens and RMC Sport, Kylian Mbappe got injured while undergoing a training session with the PSG squad some time ago.
The French striker will then undergo a medical in the near future and it is still unclear whether Mbappe will join PSG's entourage away to Real Madrid.
If in the end Mbappe misses the second leg, of course this is an advantage for Real Madrid, who are aiming for a win in order to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals.
After the first meeting a few weeks ago, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said Mbappe had managed to hurt his team but he and Los Blancos had three weeks to prepare for the game against him.
"Mbappe? He hurt us, but we have three weeks to prepare for another game against him," said Ancelotti.
In the first meeting, Kylian Mbappe scored PSG's winning goal over Real Madrid with a thin 1-0 score at 90+4 minutes at the Parc des Princes Stadium, Paris, 16 February.
PSG only need at least a draw when they face Real Madrid in the second leg to be able to ensure their move in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.
Throughout this season, Mbappe has become an important figure on the front lines of Les Parisiens by making 34 appearances in all competitions and being able to contribute 24 goals and 17 assists for PSG.
