PSG manager Luis Enrique has provided reassuring news regarding the injury sustained by star player Kylian Mbappe during the recent match against arch-rivals Marseille, reported by GOAL. Despite initial concerns, Enrique confirmed that the injury is not as serious as feared.

Mbappe's injury scare occurred when he fell victim to a robust challenge from Marseille's Leonardo Balerdi. Following the tackle, the French forward was visibly in discomfort and had to leave the pitch temporarily for medical attention. However, his determination led him to return to the field briefly in an attempt to continue playing. Regrettably, his reappearance was short-lived as he soon signaled to be substituted and headed for the tunnel.

Speaking after the match, Luis Enrique addressed concerns surrounding Mbappe's condition, stating, “It's not a serious injury, but there was some pain. I believe it was wise for him to come off and not risk further harm. Thankfully, he's okay.”
