Kylian Mbappe, Neymar to miss PSG's clash with RB Leipzig?

By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 02 November 2020

Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe could reportedly join the already-injured Neymar on the sidelines for Wednesday's Champions League encounter with RB Leipzig.

Paris Saint-Germain could reportedly be without both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar for their Champions League showdown with RB Leipzig on Wednesday evening.

Mbappe scored one and assisted another in PSG's 3-0 victory over Nantes at the weekend, but the 21-year-old was taken off in the second half.

In contrast, Neymar did not take part at all as he nurses a groin problem, with the Brazilian attacker expected to remain on the treatment table until after the international break.

While Neymar was already a confirmed absentee for this game, the Daily Mail reports that Mbappe did not take part in PSG's training session on Monday, leading to fears that the prolific forward may have to sit out the midweek tie as well.

As a result, Moise Kean can likely expect another start at the forefront of the PSG attack with Mauro Icardi also sidelined, and Kean will look to build on his brace which gave PSG a 2-0 win over Istanbul Basaksehir last week.

However, the absences of Neymar and Mbappe are sure to affect Thomas Tuchel's men, with the pair boasting a combined total of nine goals and 11 assists between them already this season.
