The recovery is going fine, but it won't be sure until the day before the UCL tie whether the Frenchman will be in the team
There will be worries, but they will sleep a little easier in Paris because it seems that Kyllian Mbappe will be ready for the Champions League semifinal second-leg against Manchester City.
The French striker had problems with the right calf in the previous days, so he missed yesterday's match with RC Lens in the Ligue 1. However, according to the French newspaper Le Parisien, Mbappe was seen at the Paris Saint-Germain sports centre today, where he did short training separately from the team, which confirmed that the recovery is going positively.
Without any dilemma, Mbappe will travel with the team to Manchester, where he will show up on the last practice before the game, on Tuesday. After it, we'll definitely know whether he is ready to play the whole 90 minutes.
After yesterday's victory over Lens, PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino pointed out that he believes that Mbappe will be ready for a rematch.

"I am optimistic about Mbappe. We will make an assessment in the coming days, but I think he will be able to play," Pochettino said.
Mbappe was not of much help to his side in the first leg. He did not have a single shot towards Ederson's goal and, to put it popularly, displayed a truly low-profile performance. However, there is no doubt that the French champion would be devastated by the eventual absence of the fast striker.
