However, despite these injury concerns, Mbappe has chosen to stay positive and send a strong message to PSG fans ahead of their crucial UCL clash against Bayern Munich. The French star put up an Instagram story where he wrote, "Let's stay strong and united."
Meanwhile, PSG boss Galtier spoke about Messi and Mbappe's injuries after his side lost to Monaco on Saturday. "No, concerning Kylian, the period of unavailability was defined from the start," Galtier said. "He's a sprinter with a muscle injury. Leo felt discomfort at the end of the game in Marseille. He should resume training tomorrow or even Monday. We will take stock at that time."
