How long is Kylian Mbappé out for and when will he return for PSG?

Kylian Mbappé has been ruled out of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League last-16 first leg against Bayern Munich on 14 February. The attacker suffered an injury to his left thigh against Montpellier on Wednesday, in a match in which he missed two penalties in the space of a minute and asked to be substituted in the 21st minute. Despite the injury to their star man and already being without Neymar due to his fitness issues, Christophe Galtier’s men ran out 3-1 winners and extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to five points.
