Presnel Kimpembe, the 29-year-old defender who suffered a serious Achilles heel injury and is now close to a return to the pitch, spoke to Canal Football Club. He explained that he had kept in touch with Didier Deschamps.
Kimpembe “ Deschamps, have we kept in touch? Always”
“Deschamps, if we’ve kept in touch? He sent me a message on my birthday, and when I come to a match, he sends me a message. I was lucky enough to see him after the Italy match, even if he wasn’t happy. He’s had problems with his Achilles tendon, he knows what it’s like.”
It’s true that Kimpembe’s career has taken a major turn for the worse. A key figure with Les Bleus, even if he wasn’t always an indisputable starter, he has also always been a key figure with PSG. In fact, he is still one of the vice-captains, despite not having played for two years.
With Les Bleus, he’s always given his all, and there’s no doubt that Deschamps will call him up if he’s back to his best, knowing that his state of mind is always very good for a group.
