After the announcement of Kylian Mbappé's injury this Monday morning in training, after a heavy sole from Idrissa Gueye, many supporters were legitimately worried about the fate of the striker two days before the round of 16. return from the Champions League, in Madrid, this Wednesday (9 p.m.).
If the latest echoes of the state of Mbappé's left foot are reassuring, they have not put an end to a sad outburst of hatred towards the Parisian midfielder.
Idrissa Gueye, recently winner of the African Cup of Nations (CAN) with Abdou Diallo and Senegal, has thus been the subject of hundreds of abusive comments for having injured the crack of Bondy.

Pauline, his wife, and he even had to restrict access to comments on social networks including Instagram.
This verbal violence naturally shocked many Parisian supporters as it appears out of place.
Faced with this sad spectacle, Kylian Mbappé took the initiative to react in turn to support his partner.
In an Instagram story published around 6:30 p.m., he displays his complicity with the Senegalese with an image of an accomplice celebration of a goal, accompanied by a clear message: “All together, always.
Here it is Paris”.
He adds a small heart affixed next to the name of Idrissa Gueye's account.
In his program "Rothen ignites" on RMC, the former Parisian left-hander indicates "that we must not attack Gana Gueye".
“It's a retention of the ball with players who did not play Saturday in Nice, so inevitably there is rhythm, underlines Rothen.
There's even more pace than usual ahead of the match in Madrid in 48 hours.
They know that it's the last bit of physical effort to have some pep and freshness on Wednesday evening.
The guys are excited.
Gana Gueye wants the ball back.
Admittedly, this is a very awkward gesture.
If he was competing in a match, he would have taken a red card.
He goes there with a lot of force but we can't blame him, it happens all the time.
Unfortunately, it happens on the best player in the squad.
Those who criticize Gana Gueye's gesture today are the first to criticize the lack of investment, rhythm or intensity in training.
It works in training and so much the better.
Gueye wants to earn his starting spot.
