"Kylian, he is available and he will be on the sidelines," said the technician at the microphone of Canal +.
"I know when he can return, there are limits in relation to his very premature return, but he is in good health, he has digested the work sessions he may have had well. But obviously we has a limited playing time, there is a risk taken but it is automatically calculated. We will also see according to the scenario of the match", he declared.
Back from injury earlier than expected, Mbappé was integrated into the PSG group on Monday for this European shock at the Parc des Princes.
Victim on February 1 of an injury to the left thigh, the N.7 of PSG was initially to be absent for three weeks, but he trained on Sunday and Monday.
In his absence at kick-off, Galtier chose to line up the young Warren Zaire-Emery (16), who should play on the right flank of a possible 4-4-2, in support of a attacking duo Lionel Messi-Neymar.
"On the presence of Warren, yes, I am satisfied with what he is doing," said Galtier on Canal+.
"Everyone can wonder about the pressure, the lack of experience, but there is a lot of experience in the team and they will be surrounded by experienced players. Youth have this virtue of being in the recklessness and euphoria," he said.
PSG, which remains on two defeats, in Marseille in the Coupe de France and in Monaco in L1, plays very big against Bayern, who beat it in the final of the 2020 Champions League in Lisbon (1-0).
The round of 16 second leg will be played on Wednesday March 8 in Munich.
