PSG: Kimpembe is ruled out of the Champions League group stage clash against Juventus
French football club Paris Saint-Germain has announced this morning that Presnel Kimpembe is ruled out of tomorrow’s Champions League group stage clash against Juventus on Wednesday at Allianz Stadium, in the sixth and final round of the Champions League group stage, as Kimpembe has picked up an issue on his Achilles heel. Paris Saint-Germain issued a medical statement today, Tuesday, saying: "Presnel Kimpembe feels discomfort in the right Achilles tendon, and he will remain under care at the training center." The 27-year-old had recently recovered from a muscle injury and participated as a substitute during the Maccabi matches in the Champions League and Troyes in the French League.
The defender had recently returned to action following a month and a half on the sidelines, having injured his hamstring against Brest in early September. He made his first start since coming back in the 4-3 win over Troyes at the weekend, before being brought off in the second half for Marquinhos.
PSG succeeded in qualifying for the round of 16 of the Champions League, accompanied by Benfica of Portugal, from Group H, while Juventus came in third place.
