Paris Saint-Germain have provided a positive update regarding Kylian Mbappe after he injured his knee while on international duty with France.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: PSG were dealt some bad news, however, as it was revealed Marco Asensio has suffered a foot injury and will be out until the end of September. Asensio is off to a good start at PSG, scoring two goals and setting up another in Ligue 1 since joining from Real Madrid, while Mbappe has netted five in just three games.
