Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has been out with an ankle injury for several weeks and is still not fit to return to action.
The France international was injured in the Champions League final against Manchester City in May, but it wasn't until recently that he underwent surgery on his ankle. The recovery process has been slow and it's unclear when Kimpembe will be able to return to full fitness.
Despite being sidelined, Kimpembe remains an important player for PSG, as he provides both defensive cover and leadership in the heart of their defence. His absence has been felt in recent matches, as PSG have struggled defensively without him.
Kimpembe's injury comes at a crucial time for PSG, who are currently in the middle of a busy season. They have won four straight Ligue 1 games, including a 2-0 victory over Lyon on Sunday, and are looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
While they may miss Kimpembe's presence in the squad, PSG have plenty of other options at the back, including Thiago Silva and Marquinhos. But it's clear that losing one of their key defenders will be difficult to overcome.
In conclusion, while Presnel Kimpembe's injury is disappointing for PSG, it's unlikely to impact their title challenge too much. However, it does highlight the importance of having a strong defence, which PSG will need to improve if they want to retain their dominance in French football.
