Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier admits he is 'worried' about the upcoming clash against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League following the big loss to AS Monaco.
The French champions side suffered a 3-1 defeat to Monaco in Ligue 1 on Saturday, although there were a number of absentees including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Marco Verratti.
It remains to be seen if the team's injury situation will improve, but the PSG tactician could not hide the fact that it will be tough for his side this week.

"There was a lack of intensity. It is the current state of the team. I can't hide behind that. The state of the team is like this. It is strange but true. It is bizarre to say that as a PSG manager, but it is the current reality," Galtier said, as per Get French Football News.
"I am worried about the match on Tuesday night. If I wasn't that'd be something serious. "
"We'll see if some of those that couldn't start the match today will be able to play on Tuesday. We have a very weakened team and we're worried. In this period, you have to stay clear-headed. I understand the fan's anger. There is anger."
Galtier confirmed that Mabppe will not feature against the German champions on Tuesday.
"I don't think Mbappé will play. There are other matches and we're taking no risk with him. We hope he'll recover well. Hopefully, Verratti, Messi and others on the bench can play the match," he added.
