Mbappe suffered a left thigh injury against Montpellier on Wednesday, in which he missed two penalties within a minute and was asked to be substituted in the 21st minute. Although the coach said that his injury is not serious, it seems that he still needs to rest for a while.
PSG said in a statement Thursday that tests revealed a tear in his left thigh. The injury comes at a bad time for PSG as it enters a hectic period this month.

How long will Kylian Mbappé be out?
Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed the France international will be out for up to three weeks. There are less than two weeks before the first leg of the Champions League knockout round against Bayern at the Parc des Princes, which means that Mbappe will miss the first leg of Bayern.
In addition, the absence of three weeks also means that Mbappe is expected to miss at least four games. He could be back in the league against Lille (Sunday 19 February) or Marseille (Sunday 26 February).
