Kylian Mbappe denies targeting Neymar with 'eat well and sleep well' comments

Kylian Mbappe denied claims he was having a dig at Neymar when he urged his team-mates to "eat well and sleep well" after their loss to Bayern Munich.

PSG were beaten at home by Bayern in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday. The forward warned his team-mates to ensure they are in peak shape for the return leg in Munich. Hours later, Neymar was spotted at a poker tournament and then went to McDonald's in an apparent defiance of his team-mates orders.

But Mbappe has denied that he was talking specifically about Neymar, telling Prime Video: "[They were] for everyone. For everyone! I've seen people talking about Ney and what happened afterwards...it was not a dig or anything. I think in the context we are in now, we need anything but digs. It's really advice for everyone because, as I said, when we have everyone, other teams have problems."

PSG will be without Neymar for a spell after he had to be stretchered off with an injury during their 4-3 win against Lille in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
