LISBON (AP) — Requiring crutches himself on the sidelines, Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel’s greater concern seemed to be Kylian Mbappé’s fitness.
The sight of the forward with the ball back at his feet in training was a welcome one for the French treble winners on the eve of the Champions League quarterfinal against Atalanta on Wednesday.
″If he trains well today, and nothing special happens, he will be on the team sheet tomorrow,” Tuchel said before the training session at Benfica’s stadium.
“We are also happy that Kylian can be in the group, maybe we can finish the game with him and Neymar, because it gives him a player that he likes to play with.
