Presnel Kimpembe still does not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Victim of a ruptured Achilles tendon on February 26, 2023 against OM, the French international has not since returned to a competitive pitch. Forced to undergo surgery twice, the 2018 world champion is now hampered by a muscle injury. Which prevents him from returning to team training.
“PSG would like to see him come back. He is someone who is adored at the club. He is a very important Titi Parisien in the group and the locker room. The problem is that his body is not leaving him alone. He was seriously injured in the Achilles tendon, but he has not relapsed on this tendon, it is a muscular injury in the other leg that is currently affecting him,” said journalist Fabrice Hawkins on RMC.
“No one at the club is able to say whether he will be able to wear the PSG jersey again.”
And to add: “He still hasn’t resumed team training, so it’s difficult to know when he’ll be back. He’s following his treatment protocol rigorously, but no one at the club is able to say when he’ll be able to wear the PSG jersey again. That’s why PSG went for Willian Pacho, who has a similar profile: younger, with less experience, but left-footed and tough on the man.”
