The news of PSG star Kylian Mbappe displaying coronavirus-like symptoms caused quite a stir as the Ligue 1 champions geared up to face Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their UEFA Round of 16 clash earlier this month. However, Kylian Mbappe tested negative for the COVID-19 strain and went on to play in the game which PSG eventually won by a two-goal margin. PSG teammate Ander Herrera has now revealed that he was in a worse condition as compared to Kylian Mbappe ahead of the Champions League clash.
