How to watch PSG v Bayern Munich in the Champions League as Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi return to squad
Kylian Mbappe has returned to the Paris Saint-Germain squad faster than scheduled following a hamstring injury and could feature in the Champions League last 16 first leg against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Mbappe picked up the muscle complaint in PSG’s 3-1 win over Montpellier in Ligue 1 on February 1, with the club initially stating he would be sidelined for three weeks.
However, the 24-year-old trained with his team-mates on Sunday and Monday, prompting his hasty return to the squad.

PSG coach Christophe Galtier insisted on Saturday he would take “zero risk” with the France star.
Neymar was in front of the press on Monday and hinted that Mbappe would feature.
“[Mbappe] is an extremely important player, he’s a great player,” Neymar said.
“When the three of us are together [Neymar, Lionel Messi and Mbappe], we feel very strong.
“He [Mbappe] told me he felt good. These are good signs.”
Messi is also a doubt for the match having, similarly, just returned to training after his own injury.
PSG have lost their last two games: a 2-1 defeat to Marseille in the French Cup and a 3-1 loss to Monaco in Ligue 1.
