PSG recovers Mbappé after Neymar's latest mess in the locker room

The French striker Kylian Mbappé has returned to training this Sunday with Paris Saint Germain (PSG), which may mean that he is no longer completely ruled out for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 next Tuesday against him Bayern Munich.

Mbappé was in part of the training session this morning along with the players who did not play or did so for a few minutes in the French league game on Saturday between PSG and Monaco.

Precisely, the defeat against the Monegasque team has caused a new schism in the dressing room of the French team, with Neymar as the protagonist. According to L'Equipe, the Brazilian got into a heated argument with Luis Campos, the team's sports director. The Portuguese criticized the lack of aggressiveness of the players, something that the striker did not take well.

The Parisian team showed up for the game suffering from a stomach virus, something that could have affected them. Despite this, the sports director criticized the image shown, something in which some of his players, such as Marquinhos, did not agree. In the case of Neymar, throughout the game he had different confrontations with his teammates. The young Ikitike was the most pointed out.

Mbappé's recovery is the best news for PSG. In this way, the star forward seems to have recovered sooner than expected from the injury he suffered at the beginning of the month and for which the doctors had initially advised him to be absent from the stadiums for three weeks.

Although his presence against Bayern Munich in the Parc des Princes is not ruled out, the coach, Christophe Galtier, assured this Saturday that they would run "zero risks" with Mbappé.

PSG faces this decisive duel with doubts about two of its other key players, the Argentine Leo Messi and the Italian Marco Verratti, who were also not in the match against Monaco, in which the team from the French capital suffered its second consecutive defeat .

Messi suffers from a hamstring problem, although he plans to return to training this Monday with the rest of his teammates, while Verratti has already done so today.
