PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino delivers Kylian Mbappe fitness update ahead of Man City second leg

Posted by

There were fears over Kylian Mbappe’s fitness before the Champions League first leg between PSG and Man City, and it could explain why the French star looked a little bit subdued as he didn’t have his usual influence on the game.

The Parisians imploded in the second half of that game and could even count themselves lucky to only be 2-1 down, but that away goal could be huge as they come to Manchester knowing they’ll need to win and score at least two goals in the process.

Having Mbappe fit and at his best will be vital to their chances of success, so there will be concern that he was forced to miss their win at home to Lens today.

Mauricio Pochettino spoke about his situation after the game, and it sounds like Mbappe still has a chance of making the game next week:

they still have plenty of quality without him but he’s such a difference maker when he is on form, so you can be sure they’ll do all they can to get him fit for the game.

  1. PSG’s goal was a home goal. They need to score at least three goals at the Etihad, or win by two clear goals

    1. Correction, 2-0 would be enough otherwise if City score PSG need 2 clear goals more.
