Presnel Kimpembe's latest PSG injury: Updates on his recovery and potential return
Presnel Kimpembe, the French centre-back for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has suffered a setback in his recovery from a long-term injury.
The 29-year-old was forced to miss the majority of last season due to a knee problem, but he made a promising comeback during the 2021-22 campaign. However, he picked up an ankle injury in training this week that has kept him out of action until at least the end of the month.
Kimpembe's injury is not considered serious by medical staff, but it will require further assessment before a definitive return date can be set. The club's medical team will closely monitor his progress over the coming weeks and months, with the aim of getting him back into training as soon as possible.
If Kimpembe were to miss any more time, it could have significant implications for PSG's defence,Ligue 1 Express which has struggled at times this season. The club has already lost key defenders such as Thiago Silva and Layvin Kurzawa, so having a reliable centre-back like Kimpembe would be crucial.
In the meantime, PSG will need to rely on their other centre-backs, such as Thilo Kehrer and Marquinhos, who have also been called upon to step up in recent games. The team will also need to find ways to defend against attacks from opponents who know they will be without one of their best players.
Overall, while there is still uncertainty about Kimpembe's future, it seems likely that he will make a full recovery and resume his role as one of PSG's most important players.
