French striker, Kylian Mbappe limped off injured in his team 3-1 win over Montpellier in a Ligue 1 fixture on Wednesday night. 

The injury scare raising fears over his fitness in time for PSG’s upcoming crucial UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against German champions Bayern Munich later this month.

The France superstar was forced off in the 21st minute and went down the tunnel clutching his hamstring, a worrying sight for PSG faithfuls with less than two weeks until they come up against Bayern.

Mbappe’s injury was not PSG’s only injury worry in the first half of the match as Sergio Ramos also limped off in the 32nd minute, casting yet more uncertainty over who Paris manager Christophe Galtier will have to select from, as his team look to challenge Bayern for a spot in the Champions League last 8.

Three second half goals from Fabian Ruiz, Lionel Messi and 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery help the French champions back to winning ways following last weekend draw at home to Reims.
