Bayern Munich are set to play hosts as Paris Saint-Germain make their way to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, April 7 (April 8 IST), for the first of their Champions League quarter-final games. Having been beaten soundly by Bayern Munich in the final of the tournament last season, Paris Saint-Germain will come into this match looking to avenge their defeat but more importantly, not repeating it. With a concerning number of injuries in both squads, we answer the all-important question: Is Kylian Mbappe playing tonight?

Is Kylian Mbappe playing tonight? Kylian Mbappe injury update

Missing a number of players from his squad for this crucial fixture against Bayern Munich, it will come as a huge relief to PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino that Kylian Mbappe will be fit and available to take the field in this encounter. The 22-year-old striker, who has proven to be one of the most important game makers for the PSG side, will be looking to play an important role in this match. As with his outings against Barcelona earlier this year - one that saw him score a hattrick of goals and another that saw him score the equaliser - Mbappe's performance in this game may be pivotal in deciding the outcome of this game.
