When he returns, he will almost be welcomed as a new recruit at Paris Saint-Germain. However, Presnel Kimpembe (28 years old) is trained at the club, and proudly represents the capital club. But his absence from the field for almost a year (his last match was against OM on February 26, 2023) due to a ruptured Achilles tendon almost made him forget his presence in the Parisian squad. And as indicated The Team this Saturday, the French international (28 caps) should – if all goes well – return to competition in April. Excellent news for Luis Enrique, who will record the return of a major player from the PSG locker room at the end of the season, while hopes of seeing him again quickly vanished with the announcement of a second operation, which was unfolded well.
However, a comeback was planned earlier, at the end of 2023 basically, as he announced privately. But discomfort persisted and Kimpembe did not want to rush things. He knows this only too well, he who notably missed the 2022 World Cup with the French team for the same reason, due to a premature return to the pitch (exited against Auxerre in the Coupe de France on November 13 2022). The Euro could have been in his sights, but an agreement was reached between the staff and him to follow all the stages of his recovery and not to skip any steps. But the objective is certainly not there, while the French group will fly to Germany only two months later. The mission is to find playing time before next season, and the capital club still has confidence in him, as evidenced by his contract extension until 2026.
