Julian Nagelsmann suspected a few days ago that Kylian Mbappé’s injury might not be so bad that the lightning-fast striker from Paris St. Germain would have to miss the game against FC Bayern (Tuesday, 9 p.m.). The Bayern coach explained at the weekend that he is preparing his team for Mbappé and Lionel Messi, who is also ailing, to play.
Now everything looks like Nagelsmann would be right. L’Équipe’ reported on Sunday afternoon that Mbappé had returned to running training. The French megastar’s thigh injury seems to have healed well. ‘Le Parisien’ even goes a step further in the early evening and writes that Mbappé would certainly be in the squad for the highlight in the round of 16 on Tuesday.
PSG need Mbappe
Even if Christophe Galtier announced that he did not want to take “any risk” with Mbappé, there are now many indications that the 24-year-old striker will make a lightning comeback. PSG revealed on Saturday that the 66-time national player is needed.
They lost 3-1 to AS Monaco. Without Mbappé, Messi and midfielder Verratti. All three could be back on Tuesday and make life difficult for the German record champions.
