Paris Saint-Germain’s star boy and top scorer Kylian Mbappé will miss the next three weeks with a hamstring injury. The Mbappé injury means he’ll miss PSG’s first leg Round of 16 Champions League game vs. Bayern Munich on Feb. 14.
On Wednesday the 24-year-old Frenchman had a rough night during PSG’s Ligue 1 meeting with Montpellier where he missed two penalties and left early due to the hamstring issue and a knock to the knee. Mbappé suffered the injury after a tackle from Leo Leroy.
