Kylian Mbappe set to be named in PSG squad to face Bayern Munich as he makes dramatic injury recovery
KYLIAN MBAPPE is set to be named in Paris Saint-Germain’s matchday squad against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, according to reports.
The French forward suffered a thigh strain against Montpellier on February 1.
Mbappe, 24, was expected to be out for three weeks, which would have ruled him out of Tuesday night’s crunch clash.
But he has since made a miraculous recovery, returning to training earlier today.
He took part in a session involving players that did not play a big part in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Monaco.
According to French paper Le Parisien, he is now expected to be involved on Tuesday night.
PSG’s form has suffered in Mbappe’s absence.
They scraped past Toulouse in their first match following his injury, before then crashing out of the Coupe de France 2-1 at Marseille.
Saturday’s awful 3-1 defeat at Monaco followed.
Boss Christophe Galtier was also without Lionel Messi in the Principality.
