Kylian Mbappe a doubt to face Real Madrid after PSG team-mate Gueye injures him in training before Champions League game

KYLIAN MBAPPE could miss Paris Saint-Germain’s trip to Real Madrid after he was injured by his own team-mate.

The striker, 23, was hurt after Idrissa Gueye stamped on his foot with a poorly timed tackle.

Mbappe quickly fell to the floor with a painful grimace etched across his face, sparking fears he could have sustained foot injury.

The Frenchman has undergone treatment since the incident and according to PSG the scans look reassuring.

But the French giants face a nervous 24-hour wait to find out the extent of the injury and whether Mbappe will be fit to play.

PSG take on Real in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie on Wednesday, and take a 1-0 aggregate lead to the Bernabeu thanks to Mbappe’s late winner in the first leg.

Real will likely be hoping he is unavailable as he was the difference between the sides last time out.

Mbappe has been the subject of considerable transfer interest from Real, who had two bids rejected for him last summer.

But with just a few months on his contract it is possible Real could snatch Mbappe on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Elsewhere, former Real defender Sergio Ramos is unlikely to feature at the Bernabeu due to injury.

Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has also been suffering from conjunctivitis and is not expected to return to training until next week.
