Kylian Mbappe has been tested for coronavirus, according to reports in France, with the Paris Saint-Germain striker set to miss Wednesday night’s Champions League game with Borussia Dortmund.
It emerged on Tuesday that the French striker has been suffering from a sore throat and has missed training for the last two days.
His participation against Dortmund was, as a result, up in the air but now L’Equipe are reporting that Mbappe has been tested for coronavirus as a precaution.
It is claimed Mbappe ‘was tested this Tuesday to find out if he was affected by the coronavirus. The results should be known in the evening or Wednesday morning.’

PSG coach Thomas Tuchel will make a last-minute decision on whether Mbappe will take part in the team’s Champions League last-16 return leg against Dortmund on Wednesday.
