Mbappe To Serve Three Match Ban

Kylian Mbappe, France World Cup star is set to miss one more league match for Paris Saint-Germain after he lost his appeal against the suspension of three matches on Monday.



On September 1st, the 19-year old Mbappe, was given the matching order for his retaliation on Teji Savanier in a landslide 4-2 victory in Nimes.

As announced by the French Football Federation (FFF), Savanier obtained a four-game ban for his involvement in the incident, the sanction that was also confirmed after the appeal by the two players.

Mbappe, who is the favourite to win Balon d’or Award in December, mainly because of his superb performance for his country, France, in Russia last summer, has served two out of the three game ban.

The young lad missed Paris Saint-Germain 4-0 home win against Saint Etienne and Sunday’s 3-1 away victory at Rennes to consolidate their lead at the top of the log.

After six league matches, the Ligue 1 defending champions hold a five-point lead over Lille, who occupied the second-position.

Kylian Mbappe will miss their next home league game with Reims in mid week but he will become eligible for their away trip to Nice on Saturday.

However, he featured and scored in PSG’s Champions League opener defeat against Liverpool last week Tuesday at Anfield as the suspension doesn’t affect European competitions.
