The French Ligue 1 club said Mbappe, who scored a stoppage-time winner in the first leg of the round of 16 against Madrid, was hurt during Monday’s training session but that initial medical exams were reassuring.
PSG said Mbappe received treatment and that his fitness will be reassessed on Tuesday. The match against Madrid is on Wednesday. Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid when his contract expires this year.
"Kylian Mbappe suffered a shock on the left foot in training today. He performed treatment this afternoon. The clinical examination is reassuring and a new point will be made in 24 hours," PSG said in a statement.
The World Cup champion has been in stellar form this season, with 24 goals and 17 assists in all competitions as PSG has become increasingly reliant on their star. Mbappe was suspended this weekend for a Ligue 1 match against Nice and PSG lost 1-0.
PSG had beaten Real Madrid 1-0 in the first leg in Paris. Meanwhile, the Ligue 1 club also updated about Sergio Ramos and Ander Herrera.
"Sergio Ramos is training individually until the end of the week. Ander Herrera trains individually and continues treatment for his conjunctivitis. He will resume training with the group at the end of the week," the statement further added.
