Presnel Kimpembe, the defender of the France team, had to leave before the end of the match against Finland (2-0) after a shock with Kurt Zouma and after feeling pain in the Achilles tendon. This was indicated by Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues after the match, without specifying the seriousness of the 26-year-old’s injury. “Kimpembe has a little problem with his Achilles tendon,” said DD. It’s the tiredness. He is one of the few players who have chained the three games, he pulled a little on the rope. “
Kimpembe is indeed among the four players, along with Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Hugo Lloris, who participated in the matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ukraine and Finland during this September rally. He must now rally Paris and his PSG club where he should take additional exams this Wednesday.
The Champions League is coming soon
It’s hard to say if the 2018 world champion will be able to play the match against Clermont, this Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Parc des Princes. It would be surprising if the Parisian staff, who has already repatriated Kylian Mbappé, victim of a calf injury, take the slightest risk with his central defender. Even more when we know that the first Champions League match in Bruges will take place the following Wednesday (9 p.m.).
In any case, this is bad news for PSG, many of whose players are unavailable for the resumption of Ligue 1. The capital club will most certainly be deprived of its South Americans (with the exception of Marquinhos, on the return to Paris), Mauro Icardi, Colin Dagba, Juan Bernat, Sergio Ramos, Layvin Kurzawa (injured), and possibly Marco Verratti (knee), Kylian Mbappé and now Presnel Kimpembe.
