PSG did not come far from disaster this Wednesday evening. Opposed to the modest Espaly team (4-2), resident of National 3, Luis Enrique's men had to wait until the 88th minute to definitively take the advantage. If this seemingly unbalanced poster finally gave birth to a game full of suspense, another event caught the attention of observers: the absence, once again, of Presnel Kimpembe. Treated for his ruptured Achilles tendon, the central defender has been operational since November 25 after almost two years of absence. If many expected to see the Frenchman take the field again against a fifth division team, Luis Enrique preferred to abstain.
At a press conference, the Spanish technician justified this decision. He mentioned the state of the lawn, which was not in a good enough condition according to him: “the land was not suitable. These were not ideal conditions. He is in the process of improvement, for a month he has been better, but the conditions for his return were not met.» The 29-year-old will still have to be patient.
