Mbappe, 24, was expected to be out for three weeks, which would have ruled him out of Tuesday night's crunch clash.
But he has since made a miraculous recovery, returning to training earlier today.
He took part in a session involving players that did not play a big part in Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Monaco.
According to French paper Le Parisien, he is now expected to be involved on Tuesday night.
PSG's form has suffered in Mbappe's absence.
They scraped past Toulouse in their first match following his injury, before then crashing out of the Coupe de France 2-1 at Marseille.
Saturday's awful 3-1 defeat at Monaco followed.
Boss Christophe Galtier was also without Lionel Messi in the Principality.
The Argentine took part in a solo training session today and remains a doubt.
Messi, 35, has been in stunning form for PSG this term - bagging 15 goals and laying on 14 assists 25 appearances in all competitions.
Mbappe has also produced stunning figures, netting 25 goals and laying on six assists in 26 outings.
Marco Verratti returned to training for the depleted French champions earlier today.
But Renato Sanches and Nordi Mukiele remain missing.
