The bench of Paris Saint-Germain must have found the time very long when Kylian Mbappé had great difficulty getting up, in the 83rd minute of Metz-PSG (1-3), this Saturday in Ligue 1. After a knee shock against the knee with Messin midfielder Habib Maïga, the French striker limped back to the race, hampered by his right knee, then was logically replaced by Julian Draxler (87th).
According to the Parisian coach, Mauricio Pochettino, it was mainly as a precaution.
"Kylian received a blow to the quadriceps," said the Parisian technician.
It's a crutch.
We think it's okay.
We don't think it's risky for Wednesday.
"
A shining part before doubt
And it is better for the Parisians, as the level displayed by the top scorer in Ligue 1 (25 goals) has once again been sparkling. From the 4th minute, his speed allowed him to put Kiki Kouyaté down, to control his chest and find a nice cross shot. In the 59th minute, the native of Paris took advantage of a gift from Fabien Centonze, to trigger a shot (finally deflected by Kouyaté) from 20 meters. In short, Mbappé shone, then left his teammates in doubt. For Leandro Paredes, the reality of the injury was quite unclear. “I don't know, I hope it won't be important,” the Argentine simply commented. Marco Verratti wanted to play down and display his optimism, given the reassuring images after Mbappé's replacement. "I'll be a doctor, I'll tell you what he's got,but I think it's a hit, it's not much. "
