NOVEMBER 15, 2022

Scores in drubbing win Mbappe scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two dribbles and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 5-0 victory against AJ Auxerre.

Impact Mbappe returned to the score sheet despite a fairly quiet affair for his standards but with the World Cup ahead even that goal is more than what would be expected of him. The starlet heads to Qatar in a stellar form overall though with eight goals in as many matches while adding five assists for good measure over the same period.

Probable for Auxerre match Mbappe (muscle fatigue) was named in the 20-man squad for Sunday's match versus Auxerre.

Impact Mbappe was replaced last weekend after feeling some general fatigue but with a full week of rest here the starlet and the league scoring leader would surely push for a start here and if that happens would be facing a favorable match up to add more goals to his tally. He's scored six times in his last five matches.

Dealing with muscle fatigue Mbappe is dealing with muscle fatigue but it's not expected to be a serious problem and he should be available for Sunday's match versus Auxerre, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Mbappe was replaced in the 85th minute of the game versus Lorient on Sunday and went straight to the locker room accompanied by a team's doctor. There wasn't a specific injury though but just a general muscular fatigue due to the heavy schedule of late. Typically he could be considered as a bench option in cases like this but given he'll have a full week of rest before the next game the scoring leader in France should be leading the line again in the final game before the World Cup.
