Paris St Germain's chances of reaching the Champions League final have been dealt a blow with forward Kylian Mbappe's fitness uncertain ahead of their semi-final match against Manchester City.
Mbappe, the team's top scorer with 25 goals in Ligue 1 and eight in Europe, missed the 2-1 victory over Lens on Saturday due to a calf injury.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino will make a late decision on whether Mbappe will be available to face Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, saying 'We need to assess Kylian, today he's going to start individual training session and see if he'll be with the team.'
Having suffered a 2-1 defeat in Paris last week, PSG know they must score at least twice on Tuesday if they are to stand any chance of heading to their second straight Champions League final.
Pochettino emphasized the importance of his team converting their counter-attacking opportunities, saying 'Tomorrow we must be ready to suffer and then be clinical and aggressive when we get chances.'
