After seven weeks of absence, Presnel Kimpembe only played ten minutes against Maccabi Haifa and one hour against Troyes, before returning to the PSG infirmary. The Parisian club announced on Tuesday November 1 that its central defender “will remain in care at the Training Center”reporting a “Achilles tendon discomfort” after a hit. The Frenchman is therefore forfeited for the Champions League match between Juventus and PSG on Wednesday, November 2.
Less than a week before the announcement of the list of Didier Deschamps for the World Cup (November 20-December 18) in Qatar, this news worries. While Paul Pogba withdrew Monday, following the path of N’Golo Kanté, that Raphaêl Varane, another executive of the Blues, is in care, the state of health of the world champion is scrutinized.
The duration of his unavailability has not been specified. Absent since September 10 due to a hamstring injury in the left thigh, the Parisian has only two games left (in Lorient on Sunday and against Auxerre the following week) to find the automatisms and the rhythm of the competition. . Between these two matches, Didier Deschamps will have unveiled his list for Qatar.
