Rumors circulating on social media about a Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player have been put to rest by the player himself.
Presnel Kimpembe, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon while facing Olympique de Marseille on February 26, 2023, has yet to make his return to competitive play. After undergoing two surgical procedures, the 2018 World Cup champion remains in the rehabilitation process. Consequently, his comeback does not appear to be on the horizon just yet.
Although he was spotted participating in group training sessions with his PSG teammates earlier in September, Djamel—an insider for a prominent Parisian account—claims that the 29-year-old defender has not trained with others for several days. He stated⁣ on X (formerly Twitter), “Presnel Kimpembe has not engaged in any group trainingpsg-watch-the-highlights/” title=”Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka shine as Arsenal ease past European giants PSG: Watch the highlights!”>‌ recently.”
Kimpembe Responds: ”Stop Spreading Falsehoods for Attention”
Kimpembe promptly refuted this statement with a direct response: “Stop spreading falsehoods for attention,” addressed at the follower of PSG. He further explained, “You weren’t present during Thursday’s training session or Friday’s or today’s either; that’s why you haven’t seen any recent photos of me.” In retort at this claim, Djamel reinforced his position.
The discussion gained traction as Sabri Parisien ou rien—a cultural figure within PSG—supported Kimpembe’s perspective by stating, ”Djamel, pictures don’t always tell the whole story; what you’re suggesting is complete nonsense. Come and see firsthand if he isn’t practicing,” he remarked. It is evident that Kimpembe is still not prepared to rejoin Luis Enrique’s squad just yet.
