Saint-Étienne sent Mbappé its best wishes for a speedy recovery in a Tweet on Saturday, to which the France star responded positively.

But PSG coach Thomas Tuchel claimed the referee failed to protect his players and was angry with Saint-Étienne's approach.

“Whoever sees a foul like that is worried. Of course I'm worried,” Tuchel said after the game.

“It's our third match against Saint-Étienne and the third red card they've received in the first 30 minutes. It's not because they're tired.” Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini also wished Mbappé well.

“I sincerely hope it's not too serious, even if for the moment it appears to be so,” Gasperini said. “Mbappé is a fantastic player, world class.”
