Kylian Mbappe included in Paris Saint-Germain squad for Real Madrid clash

Kylian Mbappe included in PSG squad for Real Madrid clash

Kylian Mbappe has been included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad for Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg with Real Madrid despite an injury concern.

The 23-year-old emerged as a doubt for the contest after Idrissa Gueye stamped on his foot during a training session, but he did not sustain any fractures.

Mbappe has now been given the green light to travel to the Santiago Bernabeu, although PSG have stressed that the attacker will continue to be assessed ahead of the second leg.

Achraf Hakimi and Leandro Paredes have also shaken off their injury concerns to make themselves available, but Mauricio Pochettino will have to cope without Sergio Ramos (calf) and Ander Herrera (eye).

Mbappe handed PSG a 1-0 win in the first leg courtesy of a 94th-minute winner, with the Real Madrid-linked forward registering 24 goals and setting up 17 more in 34 games this season.

The ex-Monaco starlet is yet to pen an extension on his PSG deal which expires in June, but Pochettino hopes to see him remain at the Parc des Princes for "many years".

PSG squad: Donnarumma, Navas, Letellier, Hakimi, Dagba, Kehrer, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Diallo, Mendes, Paredes, Pereira, Gueye, Verratti, Simons, Ebimbe, Wijnaldum, Michut, Draxler, Di Maria, Messi, Icardi, Mbappe, Neymar
