The Ligue 1 giants are expected to make the trip to the North-West of England on Tuesday afternoon, ahead of a decisive match at the top of Champions League Group A on Wednesday night.

Manchester City will secure a place in the knock-out stage of Europe's premier competition once again, should they manage to secure a victory against Mauricio Pochettino's side this week.

However, the French side will almost certainly be sweating over the availability of star forward Kylian Mbappe ahead of the game - following his absence from training on Monday morning.

According to the information of French media outlet RMC Sport, Kylian Mbappé was absent from training on Monday morning due to an illness - however, it is reported that the problem is 'nothing serious'.
