If PSG has quietly imposed itself against Le Mans in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France (2-0), this Tuesday, February 4 had a very special flavor for a man: Presnel Kimpembe. Victim of a rupture of the Achilles tendon in February 2023, the central defender, delivered from his injury since last November, was finally able to play his first minutes at the Marie-Marvingt stadium by entering the end of the match.

After almost two years without playing, the level of the player trained at the residents of the Parc des Princes raises questions, necessarily. Didier Deschamps, who called on the left -hander 28 times since the start of his mandate, spoke about his return for The Parisian : ” There is the happiness of seeing him again on the ground. After such a long absence, you have to give him time to find his sensations and his best condition but I am very happy for him. Presnel has always been a leader with a very strong mind. He served him during his convalescence. »It remains to be seen whether the tricolor coach will again decide to call on him during the next gatherings. One thing is certain, the principle interested in it.
