Kylian Mbappe Ruled Out About 3 Weeks, in Race to Be Fit for Champions League

Kylian Mbappe is known for his speed, but the PSG and France star is in a real race to be fit in time for his club's Champions League quarterfinal showdown vs. Atalanta.

PSG confirmed Monday that Mbappe has "an ankle sprain with damage to the external ligament" and "is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks" after being on the end of a rash challenge in Friday's Coupe de France final vs. Saint-Etienne.

Mbappe was taken down in the open field by a sliding Loic Perrin, who scissored Mbappe's right leg with a two-footed tackle.
