The 2018 world champion is coming out of an almost two-year journey through the desert.
688 days later, Presnel Kimpembe will very likely play a football match again. This is the main information to remember from Luis Enrique's press conference this Tuesday, on the eve of the 32e PSG's Coupe de France final, against Espaly (N3) at the Michelin stadium in Clermont.
“Tomorrow is an ideal match to see some players, yes. After speaking with Presnel to see if he feels ready, if he feels better. Over the course of this month, he was able to train with the team. It's important to share with the player himself. But yes, I see that in training he is ready to help the team”declared the Parisian coach, which does not rule out playing him on Wednesday evening.
Two years of hardship
In a match with the ideal context for a return to competition, Kimpembe could well end almost two years without playing. Away from the field for exactly one year and eleven months, the native of Beaumont-sur-Oise is coming out of a prolonged Achilles tendon injury suffered during a match against OM in February 2023, little helped by successive relapses.
For two years, water has flowed under the bridges of Paris. The defensive sector has evolved enormously, with among others the arrivals of Lucas Hernandez and William Pacho. If his brother in arms Marquinhos is still there, Presko will have to return to form with very different profiles compared to what he has experienced in the past.
It is announced: he will sign his return by scoring. It's written.
