Brazier’s huge sole that raised Mbappé’s injury fears

This Wednesday, during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France between PSG and Stade Brestois (3-1), Lilian Brazier was guilty of a serious foul on Kylian Mbappé’s ankle. However the Parisian was able to regain his position. Reassurance ahead of next week’s Champions League.

Parc des Princes held its breath. It’s still a week away from hosting Real Sociedad in the Champions League round of 16 first leg on February 14 on RMC Sport 1. This Wednesday, in the 69th minute of the Coupe de France round of 16 between PSG and Stade Brestois, Kylian Mbappé was the victim of a huge sole from Lilian Brazier.

Mbappé was not replaced

Spotted in the center circle, the Blues captain used his bodywork to let the ball slip away from his opponent’s mark. Thoroughly beaten, Brazier came to crush his crampons on the Parisian No. 7’s left ankle. First cautioned in the 60th minute for an elbow to Danilo’s face, the former Rennais logically received a second yellow card which is synonymous with dismissal.

An already serious foul on Mbappé would have sent him to the locker room in the 68th minute. After a heavy foul in the 69th minute, the striker remained on the ground for a few moments, being treated by PSG medical staff. He rose gingerly at first, before regaining his position apparently without too much difficulty. He opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a powerful right-footed cross strike to beat Grégoire Coudert.
