The 22-year-old Kylian Mbappé, who already scored eight goals in the current competition, threatened to be canceled for the second leg.
As the French sports broadcaster Telefoot now reports, the world champion is said to have made his way to England with his Tam colleagues.
According to the report, however, the striker should first take a seat on the substitutes' bench, apparently not enough for a starting eleven.
But Mbappé could also stand out as a wild card with its speed and efficiency.

A part of this trio could be missing, however: Kylian Mbappé suffered a slight injury in the first leg and missed the game against Lens at the weekend.
In all likelihood, he is probably in the squad - but it is unclear whether it will be enough for a starting XI.
PSG is far from giving up.
"We lost the battle, but the war continues," wrote the Brazilian 222 million man Neymar martially on Instagram.
The Bayern conquerors, however, need a win for the second final in a row and must score at least two goals.
