French Forward Kylian Mbappé Sidelined with Ankle Sprain

"The results of today's X-ray confirm a slight external ankle sprain. Due to this injury, the recovery period is approximately three weeks," the club stated in a brief communication.

The Frenchman's injury and the estimated recovery time make it difficult for him to be available for the Champions League quarter-finals, which his team will play against Atalanta on August 12, in just over two weeks.

Mbappé suffered the injury last Friday during the French Cup final, when Saint-Etienne's defender Loïc Perrin, who was sent off for the action, made a harsh tackle half an hour into the game.

Mbappé received treatment in the dressing room, where he came out supported by crutches and with his foot immobilized to watch the end of the match and participate in the celebration of the title obtained thanks to Neymar's goal.
