"It cracked a bit anyway," said Paris prodigy SG Kylian Mbappé about his injury on the sidelines of the delivery of the Coupe de France won Friday (1-0) by the Parisians against Saint-Etienne.
The Parisian striker, released after half an hour of play after a violent tackle from Stéphanois captain Loïc Perrin, confided to the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron while his microphone was open, according to images broadcast by France Televisions.
Mbappé, mounted on crutches on the platform to celebrate the trophy, also wore a brace on his right ankle, which turned in shock, three weeks before the quarter-final of the PSG Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo August 12 in Lisbon.
Before this meeting, crucial for PSG, the Parisians must play the final of the Coupe de la Ligue against Lyon on July 31.
"Everyone is worried! Everyone who has seen this fault is worried! Of course I am worried," responded PSG coach Thomas Tuchel at a press conference.
"We must remain patient because we have no news. I think he will do exams tonight," he added.
