It's an injury that changes everything. Seriously injured in the right ankle during a tackle by Loïc Perrin in the 33rd minute of the Coupe de France final on Friday night, Kylian Mbappé witnessed the victory over Saint-Etienne (1-0) from the sidelines , the ankle surrounded by an imposing protection. It is supported by two crutches and the whole Parisian camp that he joined the podium subsequently and slipped to President Emmanuel Macron that "it cracked a bit anyway".
This injury leaves a big doubt on the rest of the season of the current top scorer of PSG (30 years). The boy from Bondy is indeed very uncertain today for the final of the Coupe de la Ligue next Friday against Lyon, and especially for the expected quarter-final of the Champions League on August 12 against the Italians of the 'Atalanta Bergamo in the Final 8 in Lisbon.

- Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) July 25, 2020The announcement of this injury logically crossed the Alps on Friday evening. While he had just taken his place in the press conference room after the draw (1-1) of his team on the lawn of AC Milan, on the 36th day of Serie A, the coach of Bergamo was questioned by the journalists present about this injury.
“I didn't know,” said Gian Piero Gasperini, whose team is 2nd in Serie A. I'm sorry. He's a very great player, I hope it's nothing serious. There is no doubt that the transalpine coach and the whole Lombard club will keep each other informed of the rest of the situation.
After the absence of Neymar for injury during the round of 16 of the Champions League in 2018 and 2019, the unavailability of Mbappé would obviously be a hell of a blow for PSG in its quest for the cup with big ears.
