Mbappé’s fitness in doubt as PSG sweat over star forward ahead of Man City tie

Paris Saint-Germain may face a major setback ahead of their UEFA Champions League showdown with Manchester City as star forward Kylian Mbappé is now doubtful for the encounter after sitting out Monday’s training session.

The French international was absent during the team’s final preparations, raising concerns within the PSG camp just days before the crucial fixture. Club officials have not disclosed the exact nature of the issue, but sources within the team suggest it may be a precautionary move as medical staff assess his condition.

Mbappé, who has been instrumental in PSG’s European campaign, is expected to undergo further evaluation to determine his availability. His potential absence would be a huge blow to manager Luis Enrique, who views the tie as one of the biggest tests of their season.

PSG will hope the 25-year-old recovers in time, but with Manchester City in strong form, the French giants may be forced to rethink their approach if their talisman cannot feature.

More updates are expected from the club as the match draws closer.
