'Miracle' if Mbappe is fit for Champions League quarter-final, admits PSG manager Tuchel

Thomas Tuchel says Paris Saint-Germain will need a "miracle" to have Kylian Mbappe fit in time to face Atalanta in the Champions League.

The 21-year-old attacker was this week ruled out for around three weeks after suffering an ankle injury in his side's Coupe de France final victory over Saint-Etienne last Friday.

PSG's Champions League campaign will resume on August 12 when they take on the Serie A side in the quarter-finals of the competition, and Tuchel does not expect the France star to be available for selection.
