Tuchel hopes for “miracles” at Mbappé

Coach Thomas Tuchel of French football champion Paris Saint-Germain does not expect World Champion Kylian Mbappé to play against Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League quarterfinal.He sees only a “very, very small chance” of the 21-year-old attacker playing in Lisbon on August 12, Tuchel said in Paris on Thursday.

Mbappé suffered an injury to the ankle and ligaments last Friday in the cup final against AS Saint-Etienne (1-0). The downtime is expected to be three weeks. “Every day counts, perhaps to achieve a miracle,” Tuchel said. However,

in the league cup final against Olympique Lyon on Friday (8: 45 p.m.), he definitely has to do without Mbappé.
