Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday despite nursing a sore

The 23-year-old
World Cup winner was kicked in the foot in training on Monday but had a
“reassuring” medical check-up. The club said he would have a final examination
on Tuesday.
Mbappe would be a
huge loss were he not to play, as he scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory

Real for 16 years could still play a
pivotal role in providing inside information on his old teammates.
