‘We need to be careful’, ‘Would rather have an unfit Mbappé’ – Man City fans reacts as Huge Kylian update emerges hours before kick-off

PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé ‘isn’t expected to start’ against Manchester City in Champions league clash tonight.

The World Cup-winning France striker has been struggling with a couple of knocks over the past few weeks. He had a quiet evening in the first game in Paris, with City taking a 2-1 lead back to the Etihad on Tuesday. 

The 22 year old Frenchman did not play in Saturday’s Ligue 1 game against Lens due to a calf injury.

According to Football Chief Editor on RMC sport Mohamed Bouhafsi, Kylian Mbappé will start on the bench for the game tonight.

Mbappe will be a major loss for the Parisians if he isn’t starting for the game against City – but PSG still have Neymar and a lot of talent in their team so it’s not a fatal blow.

In reaction to the news shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra and City Chief, many Man City fans have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.

Mind games

Mind games. He’s gonna run on that pitch like a mad man in the last 10 mins. We need to be careful

He will probably still start, but Icardi is still really good. He will finish chances if we let him have 2 or 3

This isn’t good. Would rather have an unfit Mbappé on the pitch than a fit draxler/icardi

Wouldn't have made any difference even if he started

Mbappe not starting is advantage PSG btw. We pocketed him in 1st leg. We are more likely to concede from less hyped players…watch out for Kean or Icardi
