Back in the Paris squad for the Champions League match against Bayern Munich after more than a year of absence, Presnel Kimpembe was not part of Luis Enrique’s squad this Saturday for the match against Nantes.
The Parisian defender who normally participates in collective sessions was not selected by his coach for this 13th day of Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes. An absence deemed misunderstood by the red and blue vice-captain, according to the information in the newspaperTeam.
According to sources close to the player, the 2018 world champion would not have understood his sidelining for this championship match when he was available and in great shape. “ He clearly didn’t understand her absence. He expressed his frustration to several members of the club regarding this situation.
He wondered how he could be in the group on Tuesday and not Saturday, when nothing happened between the two meetings. He always accepted the decisions of the sports management and especially the coach. However, the lack of consistency of decisions, a few days apart, is incomprehensible for the player,” declared a person close to the newspaper to the sports daily.
A return planned against AJ Auxerre
Presnel Kimpembe feels ready to return to the field and wear the Parisian tunic again. But perhaps the situation is different for Luis Enrique. At a press conference before the match against Bayern Munich, the Spanish manager declared that the left-hander was not yet fully ready.
“ Things are going much better for him, however he is still in the recovery phase. It was important that he was with us in training, but there is another level to the process,” he said. Words which surely explain his absence in the group this Saturday evening against Nantes.
