“It’s the worst injury”
During an interview given to Canal +, Presnel Kimpembe returned to his long absence following his rupture of the Achilles tendon: “ No, never! I had a ruptured Achilles tendon, it's the worst injury, worse than the crusaders for those who don't know. At that moment, we question everything a little, and even if people see me as dead, I know that it will come back. Never in my life could I have thought of going a year and a half, almost 2 years without playing, and being so patient. Every day I go to training and I don't know when I'll start again. The only thing I wanted was to be with the team, with a collective, because I had a good year and a half being all alone on the sidelines, training on my own, rehearsing on my own. I trained when the team finished, it was always a shift. I managed to get things right: always staying as close as possible to the team by traveling to the Champions League, going to all the matches. I was able to give my support, they gave me theirs and I was able to continue to stay in this routine of a normal player. »
“Defend the club colors 100%”
« Alright. Very very good. I have good feelings and I was able to resume collective training with the team, continues the 2018 world champion. It's been a long year. I became patient. Not to mention football. Patient and just waiting for the right moment, the right hour. When it goes “ding”, it will be the moment and you will discover a new Presnel. Always ready to defend the colors of the club, 100%, with the same courage, the same anger. »
