'Everyone is worried': Mbappe on crutches as Champions League looms

25 Jul 2020 07:39AMPARIS: Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel said"everyone is worried" after Kylian Mbappe hobbled off in the first half of Friday's French Cup final with an ankle injury after a dreadful tackle by Saint-Etienne captain Loic Perrin.

Mbappe received lengthy treatment but was eventually substituted after his right ankle was caught by a clumsy Perrin challenge that resulted in a red card for the centre-back in likely his final game for Saint-Etienne."Everyone is worried. Everyone who saw the foul is worried. Of course I'm worried," said Tuchel after his team's 1-0 win.

"It's the third game against Saint-Etienne and it's a third red card, each time in the first 30 minutes," added Tuchel.PSG face Lyon in the French League Cup final next Friday before resuming their European campaign in a unique straight knockout tournament at the Estadio da Luz on August 12. "I hope Kylian is going to recover as quickly as possible because he's a vital player for us," said PSG captain Thiago Silva.

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said he was"sorry" to hear of Mbappe's injury and hoped it was"nothing serious" ahead of next month's European clash."I hope it's a minor injury for Kylian. The intention was to play the ball but it's true that he was too fast," said Puel.
