Kylian Mbappe has admitted he was “not supposed to play” any part of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Mbappe limped off the pitch in his side's Ligue 1 victory at Montpellier earlier this month with PSG subsequently confirmed that the striker was set for a three-week layoff. However, the clash against Bayern came just two weeks after that injury – and the strike made an appearance from the bench.
The French superstar was forced to sit out several matches for his club including their Coupe de France exit against Marseille and their limp 3-1 Ligue 1 loss at Monaco at the weekend. The loss to Bayern was the first time PSG had lost three successive matches since 2011.
