Last night in French football was one of simultaneous joy and pain for PSG. PSG beat Marseille 3-1 in French League 'A'. Kylian Mbappe, one of the best players of the team, left the field with an injury again in that match.
When Mbappe left the field, it was unclear how serious his injury was. After the medical examination, it is known that the 24-year-old French forward will be out of the field for three weeks. PSG said in a statement today, "After tests, Kylian Mbappe has injured his left thigh muscle. He may have to be out of action for three weeks.' Defense player Sergio Ramos also got injured in the same match. However, his medical examination has not been completed till the time of writing this report.
Mbappe will miss one of PSG's most important matches this season if he is out for three weeks. PSG will play the Champions League last 16 first leg match against Bayern Munich on February 14. Mbappe will not be able to play in that match in his own field.

Before that, PSG will play against Marseille in the French Cup match on February 8. Three days later another match against Monaco in Ligue 1. Mbappe will definitely not play in these two matches.
Even before the injury, yesterday was a night to forget for Mbappe. This star, who won the 2018 World Cup for France, missed a penalty in 10 minutes against Montpellier. Mbappe's penalty shot at the spot kick was blocked by the host goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte. However, before Mbappe took the shot, the referee decided to award a penalty as Lecomte moved out of the area. This time, Mbappe failed to break through the target. His shot came back off the post. He had to leave the field after getting injured in the 21st minute.
