<\/div>Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini bemoaned Kylian Mbappe’s injury as he claimed he hopes to face a fully fit Paris Saint-Germain side when his team take on the Ligue 1 club in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
While Atalanta’s Serie A title hopes were all but extinguished by a 1-1 draw against Milan at San Siro on Friday, PSG returned to competitive action for the first time since March with a 1-0 triumph over Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France final. <\/p>\n
Their victory came at a cost, however, with star forward Mbappe going off injured following a robust challenge from Loic Perrin in the 31st minute.<\/p>\n
Mbappe later returned to the bench on crutches with one leg in a brace, and seems a major doubt for PSG’s Champions League clash with Atalanta in Portugal next month.<\/p>\n
However, when informed of Mbappe’s injury, Gasperini lamented the fact PSG may be without one of their best players.<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry for him, I didn’t know,” Gasperini told Sky Italia. “Mbappe is a great guy, I hope it’s not serious.<\/p>\n
“We don’t want to win due to the misfortunes of others.<\/p>\n
“In fact, if you win against these types of players, your result means even more.”<\/p>\n
Atalanta’s draw leaves them five points shy of Serie A leaders Juventus, with Maurizio Sarri’s side able to clinch their ninth successive Scudetto with a win over Sampdoria on Sunday, though a point would be enough if both Inter and Lazio fail to win their matches.<\/p>\n
Gasperini, though, decided to take a positive approach.<\/p>\n
“This was an important game for the run-in, it’s not easy to play Milan these days,” he added. <\/p>\n
“We conceded in the first few minutes, then we regained balance and had a good game. I would say it’s an excellent point.”<\/p>\n
Hakan Calhanoglu opened the scoring in the 14th minute, with Ruslan Malinovskiy missing a penalty for Atalanta before Duvan Zapata drew them level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
