On Friday, PSG were cruising at half-time on their return to Ligue 1 action on Friday as the fit-again Mbappe scored twice.
But things turned around when Kevin Volland swiftly pulled a goal back for Monaco, before Fabregas teed up the German forward's second and then swept in the winner from the penalty spot after Abdou Diallo was sent off.
Thomas Tuchel were condemned to a 3-2 defeat at the end of 90 minutes.
"The match against Leipzig is going to be very difficult, but it would not have been much different if we'd won," Tuchel said of Tuesday's game.
"We had to get Kylian out, not take any risk with Marquinhos and make Neymar play for a few minutes.
"The mix between the two matches, Monaco and Leipzig, is perhaps also a reason which explains why we lost our concentration.
"Neymar is determined. He will start against Leipzig."
