Presnel Kimpembe’s challenging season at Paris Saint-Germain took another twist as the 29-year-old defender was excluded from the matchday squad for the second consecutive week.
Fresh off a lengthy recovery from an Achilles injury that sidelined him since February 2023, Kimpembe made a brief return to action. He was included in PSG’s Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on November 26, signaling a potential resurgence for the center-back.
However, Kimpembe’s optimism quickly dimmed when he was unexpectedly dropped from the squad for PSG’s Ligue 1 match against FC Nantes at Parc des Princes. Reports from L’Équipe suggest this exclusion stirred frustration, with Kimpembe voicing his concerns to club insiders.
That tension appears unresolved, as Kimpembe has once again been omitted this time for PSG’s trip to face AJ Auxerre. While Luis Enrique has remained tight-lipped about the decision, the defender’s future at the club now seems clouded.
Kimpembe’s continued exclusion raises questions about his standing in Enrique’s plans, leaving fans and pundits speculating if this marks the start of a deeper PSG saga.
