Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel hopes to have Kylian Mbappe back as soon as possible but admits ‘it would take a miracle to see him against Atalanta’.

The French star injured his ankle in the Coupe de France Final against St Etienne and has been ruled out of tonight’s Coupe de la Ligue Final against Olympique Lyonnais.

PSG coach Tuchel has not given up on having the World Cup winner back for the latter stages of the Champions League but thinks August 12 against the Orobici will come too soon for the 21-year-old.

“I still have hope, but it’s very feeble,” Tuchel said at a press conference. “He’s healing himself, every hour that passes can be important, even if it would take a miracle to see him on the pitch against Atalanta.”
