And now holder? Kylian Mbappé, as we revealed on Sunday, is well in the group to face Bayern Munich, this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes in the knockout stages of the Champions League. The world champion has good feelings, less than two weeks after “his injury to the left thigh at the level of the biceps femoris”, according to the club press release published on February 2. The striker was injured the day before in Montpellier in the league.
Returning to training this Sunday after new reassuring exams, thanks to his exceptional recovery abilities and the work of the medical staff, the Bondy star is applying to start the first leg. He, in any case, wants to play despite the lack of rhythm. After ten days of vacation, a recovery on a Thursday, Mbappé sat on the bench in Rennes (1-0 defeat, January 15) in Ligue 1, before entering the second half. This time, it’s an injury, which calls for even more caution.
It is this Tuesday, after a final training session, that the technical staff led by Christophe Galtier will make the decision to establish him or not. At a press conference this Monday at the end of the day, the coach of the capital club was cautious while showing his confidence in the player’s feelings: “I did not think that Kylian was going to train individually yesterday (this Sunday). His post-training return today (this Monday) is very positive. It is not yet certain that he will be on the score sheet. Tomorrow (this Tuesday), the first questions will be asked to Kylian, how he projects himself in this match. As I speak to you, I don’t know if he will be on the match sheet. If he is, he will be there to play. How long ? I don’t know. »
