The 24-year-old attacker participated in part of the group session with the players who had little or no use on Saturday in Monaco (3-1 defeat), carrying out individual exercises and even shooting on goal, according to the newspaper L’Équipe, information confirmed by RMC Sports.
The two media outlets mentioned the possibility that the Frenchman was present in the squad on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Bayern Munich in Paris.
Asked about the possibility of Mbappé’s early return, coach Christophe Galtier was pessimistic on Saturday night.
“I don’t think so. He follows a rehabilitation protocol. He suffered a muscle injury. We will take zero, zero, zero risks with Kylian,” said the French coach.
Mbappé suffered a left thigh injury in the Ligue 1 match on February 1 in Montpellier, and the club had estimated that he would be absent for three weeks.
The Bayern coach questioned PSG’s communication, and did not rule out the possibility that it was a bluff.
“I don’t think he will be absent. I don’t know what he has, what he says on the website is not very clear. I prepare for the game as if I were going to play,” Julian Nagelsmann explained at the beginning of February.
