Kylian
Mbappe appears doubtful for Paris Saint-Germain when they travel to Germany for
their Champions League meeting against RB Leipzig this midweek.
The
21-year-old was suspected to have picked up a thigh injury over the weekend
after missing his side's training session on Monday, November 2.
He
was one of the goalscorers for PSG in their 3-0 victory over Nantes last
weekend before his substitution in the 74th minute.
Ander
Herrera and Pablo Sarabia were also on the scores sheet for the Parisians as
they maintain their leadership on the Ligue 1 table.
Kylian Mbappé has been directly involved in 146 goals in 131 games across all competitions for PSG:

Daily Mail reports that his manager Thomas
Tuchel initially blamed his removal on fatigue after the match but things seem
to have taken a different turn.
Sources
close to the club revealed that the 2018 World Cup winner will likely miss
their matchday three fixture.
Already,
the French League champions are without their superstar Neymar who is not
expected back until the international break due to a groin injury. Mauro Icardi
is also sidelined.
PSG
opened their Champions League campaign with a defeat to Manchester United but
bounced back with a 2-0 win over İstanbul Basaksehir in their last outing.
Tuchel's
men are currently in second place in Group B, three points adrift of United.
The
France international currently has a contract with Paris-Saint-Germain which
will expire in the next two years as the club's chiefs are trying to convince
him to sign another deal.
There
have been reports that talks over Kylian Mbappe signing a new deal has stalled
and he could be sold next summer for the club to avoid losing him for free.
