This could be a major crisis for Thomas Tuchel, as PSG frontman walks off the pitch with discomfort following the win against Nantes.
Paris Saint-Germain grabbed yet another win in Ligue 1 beating Nantes by 3-0 on Saturday. However, there might be some bad news following the French champions’ victory away from home. It appears that yet another key player suffered from a minor setback.
Earlier, Neymar picked up an injury in PSG’s triumph over Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League fixture on Wednesday. Evidently, we saw the Brazilian star walk off the field early in the first half.
Although, now, it seems that Kylian Mbappe might have a slight injury problem following his brilliant performance for PSG. The France international made an important assist at the beginning of the second half to Ander Herrera. The latter made no mistake to find the net to take the lead for PSG.
Mbappe then converted a spot-kick for Thomas Tuchel’s side in the 65th minute. The 21-year-old was brought down by Nantes center-back Jean-Charles Castelletto in the penalty box.
However, there seemed to be an issue with the PSG star as he was taken off in the 74th minute. He switched with Bandiougou Fadiga.
Furthermore, video footage from ESPN shows the Frenchman touching his right thigh in slender agitation as he walks through the tunnel. This could be a case of minor muscle issues. However, the PSG medical team will go through further analysis to get to a conclusion.
Nevertheless, this will be a concern for the PSG head coach because he does not want two of his star players out at the same time.
