PSG rules out 'traumatic' injury for Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe sustained no "traumatic injuries" in Paris Saint-Germain's loss to Lyon but will not feature against Guingamp on Thursday (AEDT).
Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed Kylian Mbappe suffered no "traumatic injuries" in the 2-1 defeat against Lyon on Monday (AEDT), but neither he nor Neymar will feature against Guingamp on Thursday (AEDT).
Mbappe clashed heads with Houssem Aouar before being carried off on a stretcher after a heavy collision with Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes prior to half-time.
The 19-year-old underwent extensive tests and visited a neurologist, with head coach Unai Emery stating that the player wanted to take part in the Coupe de France clash at Stade de Roudourou.
However, despite avoiding a serious injury, Mbappe will not be risked against Guingamp, a match Neymar will also miss with a thigh strain.
"After 48 hours, [Mbappe] is still suffering from bruising. However, additional tests have found no evidence of traumatic injuries," PSG tweeted.
"[Neymar] did not train today [Tuesday]. He remains sidelined with a right thigh injury."
