Kylian Mbappe limped off in the first half of Paris Saint-Germain’s match against Marseille with an ankle injury.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The striker was struggling with some discomfort after an early tackle from Leonardo Balerdi.
Mbappe walked off the field to receive extra treatment and was brought back on, but he soon stopped and kicked the ball out of play before walking straight down the tunnel.

The blow to the France star will come as a big concern for PSG coach Luis Enrique. Mbappe has been a pivotal figure since returning to the squad following a summer of uncertainty about his future.
Mbappe had scored seven goals in just four Ligue 1 appearances for the French champions heading into Le Classique at Parc des Princes on Sunday.
DID YOU KNOW?
PSG approached the game in dire need of three points after losing 3-2 to Nice last week. They were five points adrift of Ligue 1 leaders Brest, but got off to an excellent start against their fierce rivals when Achraf Hakimi sent a free-kick sailing past goalkeeper Pau Lopez.
After Mbappe went off, Randal Kolo Muani got his first goal for PSG when he pounced on the rebound of a save from Lopez and knocked it over the line.
PSG will hope Mbappe’s injury is not too severe and it is not known if he will be available when they take on Clermont Foot next week or when they face Newcastle in their next Champions League game.
