Sidelined since February 2023 and his rupture of the right achilles tendon, Presnel Kimpembe (29 years old) has still not played again. Between relapses and surgical operations, the central defender returned to the group… before quickly returning to the infirmary in recent weeks. Absent from the last matches, he no longer even appears in the latest medical press releases from Paris Saint-Germain. Which is surprising.
Before PSG-OL, Luis Enrique had been mysterious regarding his central defender: “no, I have no idea when he will return, it’s a very different case. He hasn’t played continuously for two years. He had two relapses from two different injuries. It would be very risky to think about speeding up the process. It is the workload and its training which will indicate its evolution.explained the Parisian manager, who dismissed him again against Saint-Etienne, this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.).
Presnel Kimpembe feels “very, very good at the moment”
This Sunday, Presnel Kimpembe broke the silence about his current state of health. At the microphone of RTL to mainly discuss the departure of Didier Deschamps at the head of the Blues in 2026, he was initially cautious about his future in the French team: “the important thing is to find minutes with my club, have fun and become efficient again. Because without being efficient, we cannot dream of the French team. It’s not that long ago, I hope to be at the 2026 World Cup, but you have to be realistic. »he explained.
Before adding a very vague message about his return with PSG. “I feel very, very good at the moment, otherwise no one would have heard me. My return is coming soon. This is not to reassure the supporters, it is simply the truth, otherwise I would not have responded like that. People know me and know that I am the soldier that I am. I’ll be back when the time is right. I am patient and I wait for the right moment”adds the Parisian… who therefore does not seem disturbed by physical problems given his response…
