- Kylian Mbappe is fit for Real Madrid Champions League clash at the Parc Des Princess on Tuesday March 6
- The 19-year-old suffered a foot injury in PSG's 3-0 win over Marseille over a week ago
- Meanwhile, coach Unai Emery will be hoping they can overturn the 3-1 defeat from the first leg in tomorrow's encounter
Paris Saint Germain camp received a boost ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League second leg clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday, March 6, with the return of Kylian Mbappe to the team.
The 19-year-old suffered a foot injury in their 3-0 victory over Marseille in the French Cup quarterfinal encounter a week ago – the same game where Neymar broke his ankle.
Having progressed to the semifinals of the domestic cup competition in France, the Parisians will be hoping to overturn the 3-1 deficit in the reverse fixture a fortnight ago in Spain to stand a chance of reaching the last eight stage of the UEFA elite competition.

While speaking at a pre-match news conference according to Goal, PSG head coach Unai Emery confirmed the youngster is available for selection for the game.
The former Sevilla handler also stated that all other players are fit for this meeting except for Javier Pastore, who didn’t train with the team.
“Kylian Mbappe trained normally with the squad yesterday. The only player, apart from Neymar, who did not, was Javier Pastore.
"Normally, all players will be ready for tomorrow's match against Madrid, except Neymar."
Emery also believes that the experience of the older players like Lassana Diarra and Thiago Motta will be needed in the team, but insisted that he will have to observe them in their last training session to determine who makes his starting lineup for the game.

"Both Lassana Diarra and Thiago Motta possess the experience for this sort of big European match.
"All three central defenders are ready to play against Real Madrid. We will see after the final training session.
"The 11 starters and the substitutes will all be important against Real. Everybody will need to chip in."
PSG head into this match on the back of their 2-0 away win against Troyes in the French Ligue 1 encounter over the weekend, and they will hope they can replicate the form to help them reach the net round.
"It is a very important moment of the season, a unique moment for all the PSG supporters and all of France. The Champions League is a major objective for the club," he added.
"This match is different. Above all, it is in Paris. We will be 12 with the support of the fans.
"We need to stay united on the inside and also show that from the outside. We want unity with the PSG fans.
"It is the first time that we have played an important Champions League return leg at the Parc des Princes. This is something different."
Mbappe joined the Parisians on a season long loan deal from Monaco with an option of a permanent deal depending on his performance during his loan spell at the club.
He has scored 10 goals in 19 appearances since he joined last summer, and he will be hoping to increase his tally in tomorrow's clash against the UCL defending champions.
