An injury to Kylian Mbappe could have thrown the race to become the Ligue 1 top scorer wide open.
The French forward was taken off injured during gameweek 6, giving his goalscoring rivals the chance to catch up in the race to win the Golden Boot.
It’s yet to be determined how long Mbappe will be missing for but will Goncalo Ramos be able to step in and find the goals needed for PSG in his absence?
Or will the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jonathan David, who finished second and third respectively in last year’s standings, potentially push their way up this time around?
