Amidst transfer drama, Kylian Mbappe found himself caught up in injury news. Hours after featuring in PSG’s 3-1 French Cup win against Brest, reports emerged that the Frenchman had sustained an ankle injury. While it creates uncertainty surrounding his availability for the upcoming Champions League match, a relieving update has been offered by Mbappe’s national team coach, Didier Deschamps, assuring that there are ‘no worries’ on the injury front.

The injury seemingly happened after he received an aggressive challenge from center-back Lilian Brassier in the 70th minute. Although justice was done as Brassier saw a red card following a second yellow, Parisian fans were concerned about their star player. Reporter Abdellah Boulma was also curious to get an update on Mbappe’s injury, as he directly questioned Les Bleus’ head coach. Deschamps replied, “Kylian Mbappe’s ankle? Everything is fine, no worries on that side, it’s okay.” These words were undoubtedly a sense of relief to all. 

They can expect the star No. 7 to feature in the upcoming Champions League RO16 first leg against Real Sociedad. Already, Mbappe is on a scoring spree, bagging 30 goals and 7 assists in 29 games across all competitions. The forward also broke the deadlock in the previous match. While Deschamps has a positive update on Mbappe, let’s hear from the player’s club coach as well.

Following the Brest fixture, Luis Enrique was questioned by the media to seek an update on Kylian Mbappe’s injury. While dropping the truth that he has no update, the coach said, “The doctors are going to do tests tomorrow; he took a big blow to his ankle. He was able to complete the match, so I don’t think it will be very serious.” While it subtly means that the Frenchman is fit, the Spaniard still has several decisions to make.
