Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has made a faster-than-expected return to training ahead of the French giants’ Champions League first-leg home game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The PSG ace Mbappe suffered a thigh injury against Montpellier on February 1 and the club said he would be out for three weeks.
On Saturday, coach Christophe Galtier said he did not think Mbappe would play on Tuesday.
“I don’t think so. He follows his rehabilitation protocol. He was a victim of a muscle injury,” Galtier said. “We will take zero, zero, zero risk with Kylian.”
However, Mbappe was part of Monday’s training, which was open to the media, participating in an exercise with Leo Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marco Verratti, Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos.
Qatari-owned PSG are seeking to stay on course to clinch the Champions League for the first time in their history.
