Kylian Mbappe Ruled Out Of PSG’s Clash With Lille

Spread the love

Paris Saint-Germain will head into their meeting with defending Ligue 1 champions Lille without Kylian Mbappe, after the French forward was officially ruled out due to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) infection.

Mbappe is undergoing treatment for the ailment currently and his return to training isn’t scheduled until Monday, as was made clear in a statement released by PSG’s medical department.

“Kylian Mbappe is still undergoing treatment for his ENT infection and will resume training at the beginning of next week,” the statement read.

This infection not only puts Mbappe out of the domestic clash with Lille, but there is a chance that he doesn’t make the squad for the Champions League match against RB Leipzig which immediately follows.

Sergio Ramos is nearing a return

PSG have still yet to hand Sergio Ramos his club debut, with the Spanish defender still struggling with an injury that has kept him out since April.

In the club’s weekly medical report, Ramos is said to be improving well and that he may return to full training within a week.

Ramos could be eyeing a playing return in early November, although the Champions League clash with the Bundesliga club will likely come too soon.

Mauricio Pochettino has further concerns

Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes will both be absent for the Lille fixture due to different long-term injuries.

The Italian midfielder is set to sit on the sidelines for four weeks with a hip injury picked up in the recent fixture against Marseille and could even miss the Champions League match with Manchester City on November 24.

Paredes, on the other hand, has a right quadriceps injury which he suffered during the last international break and it is unlikely he’ll be back in training until after the November break which is due to begin on November 8.
