Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has been ruled out of Wednesday's Champions League clash against RB Leipzig with a hamstring problem.
Mbappe, 21, sustained the injury during Saturday's 3-0 Ligue 1 victory against Nantes and had to be withdrawn in the closing stages of the match.
"After going off during the game against Nantes with a right hamstring problem, Mbappe's not available for the trip to Germany and the situation will be reassessed in 48 hours," PSG said.
The French champions' striker problems are further exacerbated by the absence of Neymar and Mauro Icardi due to injuries, with the duo expected to return only after this month's international break.
PSG, who followed up a 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United with a 2-0 victory at Istanbul Basaksehir, are second in Group H of the Champions League with three points.

PSG v Manchester United ratings
-
PSG RATINGS: Keylor Navas - 8: Produced brilliant penalty save from Fernandes, only to see it retaken after Costa Rican took huge step off his line before the kick. Sent wrong way by Fernandes second time round. Turned another Fernandes shot round post before break. Two good stops from Rashford in second half. AFP -
Alessandro Florenzi - 7: Italian full-back, on loan from Roma, made a number of surging runs forward. Good cross to set up Kean chance with quarter of an hour left. AFP -
Presnel Kimpembe - 6: Captain on the night was rarely troubled in first half but found Rashford’s pace a problem after break and it was no surprise when the United attacker rolled round him to score the winner. Reuters -
Abdou Diallo - 5: Got away with one in first 10 minutes when he swung and missed a cross into the middle but the ball hit his standing leg and dropped straight to Navas. Gave away penalty for stupid foul on Martial. Vital tackle just before break stopped Rashford getting in on goal. EPA -
Layvin Kurzawa - 7: Sliding first-time finish in six-yard box saved by De Gea from point-blank range in opening quarter of an hour. Was a handful with his attacking runs down left. AFP -
Danilo - 6: Portuguese midfielder, on loan from Porto and making his PSG debut, produced one perfectly timed challenge to deny Rashford just after break. Booked for hauling back Fred late on. Reuters -
Idrissa Gueye - 5: Senegalese was part of a defensive midfield trio in first half that failed to offer PSG any attacking drive. Had so little influence there were no live pics of him on the night. Hooked at half time. AFP -
Ander Herrera - 7: Solid show from the former United midfielder who tackled well and kept things simple with the ball. EPA -
Angel Di Maria - 6: Another ex-United man, the Argentine’s curling left-foot shot forced the first save of match out of De Gea but offered little attacking threat against his old club. Reuters -
Neymar - 7: Kept well shackled by United, forced drop deeper and deeper to get possession and was booked for dissent in first half as his frustrations grew. Brazilian’s corner turned into own net by Martial. Saw best chance saved by De Gea and then curled another over bar, both in last 10 minutes. Reuters -
Kylian Mbappe - 7: Figured even less than Neymar in opening period when a half-hearted penalty appeal was his sole contribution. Sprang into life after break with wonderful run and shot that forced brilliant save from De Gea, then saw cut back hit cross bar a few minutes later. AFP -
SUBS: Moise Kean – (On for Gueye 46’) 6: Loan signing from Everton, making his debut, brought on to offer PSG more of an attacking threat. Felt he should have had a penalty after challenge in box but referee and VAR didn’t agree. Headed harmlessly wide when well placed with 15 minutes left. EPA -
Rafinha – (On for Ander Herrera 79’) N/A. EPA Colin Dagba - (On for Florenzi 79') N/A. -
Pablo Sarabia - (On for Di Maria 86') N/A. AFP -
Mitchel Bakker - (On for Kurzawa 86') N/A. Reuters -
MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: David de Gea - 9: He’s finding top form again and it started with a good early save from Di Maria. Used his area well, was quick off his line and saved from Kurzawa. The best was from Mbappe. Vocal throughout. Reuters -
Axel Tuanzebe - 9: Injury meant he hadn't played since the Carabao cup game against Colchester last December, yet stood firm against some of the best players on the planet. Watching him beat and dispossess Mbappe was a joy. . AFP -
Victor Lindelof - 8: Rightly criticised for poor form at the start of the season, but another good game for the Swede. Assured. Excellent. “Tremendous,” in the words of his manager. EPA -
Luke Shaw - 8: Another impressive game – some of his best have been in a defensive three. He has competition for his place from Telles. . Reuters -
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 9: A lot of PSG’s attacks came down the left, but Wan Bissaka was on to them. Stood up to Mbappe and made some incredible runs, tackles and blocks. AFP -
Scott McTominay - 7: Unsettled Neymar and Mbappe – though naturally had some difficulties. Stood tall under late PSG pressure. Lost contact lens in first half as played with one eye according to his manager. AFP -
Fred - 7: Fine against PSG last time, fine against the Parisians this time. Neat, looks forward, brings balance. In form. Reuters -
Alex Telles - 7: Rusty start but quickly settled. Hit effective corners and crosses. Encouraging performance. Reuters -
Bruno Fernandes - 8: Promoted to captain. Needs to sort his penalties, but had a second chance. Some lovely balls and he had chances to score from open play. Helped those around him and drove team forward. EPA -
Marcus Rashford - 9: Dangerous when getting ball on half turn, less so with back to goal. Made wrong choice when he overhit a ball for Martial at start of second half when 2 vs 1. Remained lively and got the winner – again – against PSG away. Great turn and fine finish for goal. Reuters -
Anthony Martial - 7: Own goal and very poor defending for that one. Played as a split striker. Not always close to Rashford, but worked hard for 90 minutes. EPA -
SUBS: Paul Pogba - (On for Telles 67') 7: On for Telles after 66. Brought energy and different ideas but tried to do too much when there were easier passes on. Fed ball to Rashford which led to winner. Did well. Donny van de Beek - (On for Fernandes 88') N/A. Daniel James - (On for Martial 88') N/A. Reuters
