This is a huge blow for Presnel Kimpembe. Absent from the field since February 2023 due to an Achilles tendon injury during the Clasico against OM, the 28-year-old central defender is still recovering. He underwent surgery again in early December for a “surgical correction” According to a medical statement from PSG, he had already suffered a first setback, which delayed his return to competition. But since then, he had not been able to make his return to competition last season.
At the end of last season, he partially returned to training, “individual exercises with ball on the field”according to PSG. While his teammates were with their national teams or on vacation, the French World Champion was training to be ready for the collective resumption on July 15. But a year and a half after his injury, and while the news was reassuring, Presnel Kimpembe relapsed.
Presnel Kimpembe out of Le Havre-PSG
According to information from RMC Sportthe Paris Saint-Germain defender has injured himself again. While the part of his body that was injured has not been leaked, some sources are talking about the Achilles tendon area, according to the French media. He will no longer participate in collective sessions and will already be out of the friendlies against Sturm Graz and Leipzig on August 7 and 10, as well as the resumption of Ligue 1 on August 16 in Le Havre.
For its part, the club wants to be reassuring and assures that this new injury is not very worrying and will not require surgery. A new setback for the French international, who was hoping to make his big comeback on the pitch during this pre-season. We will therefore have to wait for the one who “hope to wear these colours again as soon as possible”as he had announced when he extended his contract until 2026. As a reminder and according to our information, the Parisian management no longer considers Kimpembe as untransferable.
