Kylian Mbappe, the most valuable player in the transfer market currently and the world cup winner has been tested for coronavirus after complaining of chest pain and a sore throat. The 21-year-old has also been sidelined for two training sessions before PSG face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last-16 second-leg clash tonight where they trail 2-1 from the first-leg.
As per the recent sources, his results came back negative but Kylian Mbappe is expected to miss the crucial Champions League game against the Germans at the Parc des Princes behind closed doors due to the spread of coronavirus across Europe. The deadly disease has infected over 115,000 people worldwide, including more than 4,000 deaths.
PSG boss Thomas Tuchel revealed Mbappe has been struggling with angina, a type of chest pain. The German coach said: “Kylian is sick”. “He was sick yesterday and he is sick today with angina and we are trying to maybe have a light practice this evening.” Tuchel is yet to decide whether to include Mbappe in the matchday squad for the Dortmund clash. He added: “He did not practice with us the last two days. “We must wait and decide tomorrow morning.”
