JAKARTA Kylian Mbappe is certain to miss Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) against German giant Bayern Munich in the first leg of the last 16 of the European Champions League.
PSG is scheduled to host Die Roten at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 in the morning WIB. Mbappe certainly could not participate in the match because he was suffering from a thigh injury.
The 24-year-old player got the injury when Les Parisiens won 3-1 over Montpellier in the 21st week of Ligue 1 on Thursday morning. The thigh problem also forced him to pull over for three weeks.
"After undergoing the test, Kylian Mbappe suffered an injury to his left thigh at the femoral bicep level," PSG said in a statement quoted by Reuters on Friday, February 3, 2023.
If it is absent for three weeks according to expectations, Mbappe will miss five PSG matches between February 4's 4'19. Apart from being against Bayern, he will also miss the last 16 of the French Cup against Olympique de Marseille.
Although previously Mbappe had shown himself capable of returning from an injury sooner than expected, he is still ruled out against Toulouse this weekend and Marseille next week.
The match against Monaco and Bayern is also likely still beyond their reach. The star's absence against Bayern Munich was clearly a major blow to the French giant.
PSG sendiri sedang mencari trofi pertama mereka di Liga Champions Eropa sejak dikuasai oleh Qatar. Satu-satunya mereka mendapat trofi itu terjadi pada musim 2019/2020 lalu.
At that time they successfully advanced until the final round. However, in the last step, Les Parisiens stumbled after losing 1-0 against an opponent they will jamu in the first leg of the last 16 of this season.
