Kylian Mbappe limped out of Paris Saint-Germain’s win at Metz on Saturday and is a doubt for their Champions League semi-final first leg tie against Manchester City next week – prompting many Sky Blues to react.
The French striker continued his sensational form in a Ligue 1 clash with Metz, scoring twice as PSG went top of the table with a 3-1 victory.
However, Mbappe suffered a blow to his upper leg and was forced off with three minutes of the match remaining limping as he exited the field, raising questions of whether he will be available to face City in Wednesday’s first leg.
But Pochettino was eager to play down the injury after the match.
“We think he’s okay and that he’ll be ready for Wednesday. We reviewed the action, we see the blow. We are not worried about him,” he told Canal+.
In reaction to the news shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra, many Man City fans have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.
Hopefully he is ok

But Neymar and Mbappe attacking from both flanks will be just too much to handle.
Dodging the Dias test
