Will we see Presnel Kimpembe again this evening on a football field almost two years after his Achilles tendon rupture against Olympique de Marseille? A scenario which cannot be ruled out since Luis Enrique has clearly opened the door to a return of the world champion, judging this match as ideal: “Tomorrow is an ideal match to see certain players, yes. After speaking with Presnel to see if he feels ready to play, he feels much better and has been able to train with the team. It's important to share with the player himself to see what his real state is” declared the Spaniard at a press conference, convinced that this meeting against the resident of National 3 could provide a basis for recovery for his defender.
Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez want to break everything!
This is good, “Presko” no longer hid his bitterness, he who considered himself ready to return to the field since mid-November, according to information from L'Equipe. While he learned of his absence from the group indirectly through this or that employee of the club, the French international suffered from very tense relations with the medical staff, since last year. For this second part of the season, Kimpembe could nevertheless do a lot of good in the locker room, he who is a voice “listened to”. His contribution to the locker room could therefore be essential even if we still have some doubts about the sporting aspect. On the staff side, we would always doubt their ability to return to the high level, unlike the main person concerned, convinced of achieving it.
It must be said that the competition looks set to be intense. If Willian Pacho is the good surprise of this first part of the season, Lucas Hernandez, who made his return a few weeks ago, is also motivated as never before. In private, Théo's older brother does not hide his desire to quickly regain his starting position. Suffice to say that the two men are vengeful. This bodes well for Luis Enrique but also for a certain Didier Deschamps.
