Mbappe set for clash with RB Leipzig

Kylian Mbappe is set to start as Paris St Germain face Leipzig for a place in the Champions League final tonight.

The World Cup-winning France striker was limited to the final 30 minutes of last Wednesday’s quarterfinal victory against Atalanta after struggling with an ankle injury but now looks set for longer involvement.

Coach Thomas Tuchel said: “He has had no reaction and had six days since to work on fitness, so of course he can start.

“We will decide after training whether he can play 90 minutes.”

Mbappe’s return at the Estadio da Luz would restore his partnership with Neymar, of whom Tuchel added: “Neymar has always been a leader, even when I arrived. He is showing confidence, courage, and that’s how a leader needs to act on the pitch.”
