Paris Saint-Germain has been waiting for two years for the 100% return of Presnel Kimpembe. This is good, the defender could come back even stronger than before his injury.
Luis Enrique should quickly be able to count on two more defenders, even if the Spanish coach of PSG is rather looking for an effective attacker. While Lucas Hernandez should return to competition at the start of 2025, Presnel Kimpembe will probably be back before the end of year holidays. Away from the field since February 2023, and a ruptured Achilles tendon during a match against Olympique de Marseille, the 29-year-old defender was in the group against Munich, but not against Nantes, which caused a slight internal discomfort. But whatever happens, Presnel Kimpembe is no longer injured and he is now knocking on the door for a place in the Parisian eleven. It remains to be seen what form the player will be in who has not played a single match for almost two years. Nothing to be very worried about.
Kimpembe even stronger at PSG
While some believe that we should no longer count on the Presnel Kimpembe of his great years, Florent Balmont, who also experienced a similar injury and a long-term absence from the field, is rather very confident. “ The head is 50% of the way back. Two years, it's true, it's a long time. But it is also in these moments, when we are far away, on the sidelines, that we realize what a huge opportunity it is to be a footballer. So I tell myself that at his age, 29, with the rage and hunger he must have, Presnel Kimpembe can even come back even stronger than before », explains, in The Parisianthe former Lille player, convinced that the Paris Saint-Germain defender has extraordinary mental strength and that this will allow him to return to the top.
As for Paris Saint-Germain, even if we see Presnel Kimpembe's extraordinary motivation, we know that he still needs a little more time to be physically at his best. The latter must understand that Luis Enrique will only line him up when he is certain that the French defender is mentally, but also technically, ready. Otherwise, the wait is likely to last and tension could increase.
