Mbappe injury update: Will Kylian Mbappe play against Man City in the second leg?

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are sweating over the fitness of star forward Kylian Mbappe, as they gear up to take on Manchester City in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final. The Frenchman's involvement was up to doubt after picking up a calf complaint and subsequently missed the clash against Lens over the weekend. Mbappe has been included in the PSG squad for the trip to Manchester, and it remains to be seen whether the World Cup winner will make the playing XI at the Etihad Stadium. Here's a look at the Kylian Mbappe injury update and whether will Kylian Mbappe play against Man City in the semi-final - Mbappe injury update: Will Kylian Mbappe play against Man City? PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino remains hopeful that Kylian Mbappe can play the Champions League semi-final second leg game at Manchester City this week. Mbappe has an injury in his right calf and faces a race to be fit for the second leg after sitting out this weekend and watching on from the stands. The 22-year-old was a doubt for the first-leg at home as well, but featured nonetheless in a game where he failed to register a shot on goal. As a precaution, he missed Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 win over Lens this weekend and is unlikely to be in the XI vs Man City.
