PSG suffer Mbappe blow ahead of Newcastle clash

Paris Saint-Germain have been dealt a huge blow to their Champions League group stage progression hopes.

The French giants, who are in a group with Newcastle United, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan, started off with a win against Dortmund last week.

However, they have been rocked by a Kylian Mbappe injury as they look set to take on Newcastle this midweek.

Mbappe limped off against Marseille on Sunday evening, with the 24-year-old having ankle trouble.

Mbappe tried to play on, but had to be taken off by manager Luis Enrique in the 30th minute.

The Ligue 1 top scorer is by far his team's biggest threat after the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar.
