Paris Saint-Germain have received a big blow ahead of the Champions League Round of 16 fixture against Bayern Munich. With the game set to be played in 14 February evening, Kylian Mbappe has been ruled out of the fixture due to a thigh injury, the club confirmed on Thursday, 2 February.

Mbappe, one of the best players in the PSG team limped off during the first half of PSG's 3-1 win at Montpellier on Wednesday.

PSG are due to play five matches from February 4 to February 19, with the France international set to miss the Bayern clash as well as their French Cup last-16 game against Olympique de



Marseille.

"After undergoing tests, Kylian Mbappe suffered an injury to the left thigh at the level of the femoral biceps," PSG said.

This is not the only injury that PSG might carry into the Bayern game as defender Sergio Ramos was also substituted during Wednesday's match with adductor discomfort, but he will undergo further tests on Thursday to determine the extent of his injury.

PSG stretched their Ligue 1 lead to five points on Wednesday and will next host Toulouse on Saturday. Lionel Messi scored in the 72nd minute as the Ligue 1 champions dominated the fixture with possession and attacking play.
