Mbappe suffers thigh injury: almost ruled out of UCL clash with Bayern

Moments of fear and tension at Paris Saint-Germain. Kylian Mbappe is injured just 12 days before the Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

The young PSG star was forced to leave the Ligue 1 head-to-head against Montpellier with just 21 minutes gone. The match broadcast showed the French international felt a twinge on the back of his left thigh and decided to drop to the ground immediately to avoid further consequences.

When the medical staff took to the pitch, they could only inform the bench of Mbappw's substitution, which set off alarm bells as Europe's top competition awaits the Parisians in less than two weeks' time.

It could also be seen during the broadcast of the match how Mbappe was accompanied by the club doctors to the dressing room and he put his hand on the affected area, with obvious signs of pain. To make matters worse, after the game, Mbappe admitted to the media present that he was in a lot of pain in the area: "I've injured it due to a bad landing. It hurts too much.

'L'Equipe' now reports that Mbappe has a thigh injury that could keep him sidelined for up to three weeks. Looking at the schedule, he may not make it in time for the crucial Champions League clash against the German side at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the last 16.
