Kylian Mbappe has returned to the Paris Saint-Germain squad faster than scheduled following a hamstring injury and could feature in the Champions League last 16 first leg against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Mbappe picked up the muscle complaint in PSG’s 3-1 win over Montpellier in Ligue 1 on February 1, with the club initially stating he would be sidelined for three weeks.
However, the 24-year-old trained with his team-mates on Sunday and Monday, prompting his hasty return to the squad.
