Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain has returned to training earlier than expected ahead of Tuesday’s round of 16 Champions League first-leg home match against Bayern Munich.
Mbappe suffered a thigh injury against Montpellier on February 1 and was ruled out for three weeks by the club.
On Saturday, coach Christophe Galtier stated that Mbappe would not play on Tuesday.
“I don’t think so. He follows his rehabilitation protocol. He was a victim of a muscle injury,” Galtier said. “We will take zero, zero, zero risk with Kylian.”
But Mbappe trained on Sunday and on Monday was seen in the part of training which is open to the media, participating in an exercise with Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marco Verratti, Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos.
Qatari-owned PSG are seeking to stay on course to win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
