In a friendly match played this Friday in Nîmes against the Paris Saint-Germain reserve, Presnel Kimpembe was involved in a delicate moment, granting a penalty that affected the course of the match, resulting in a parity score (2-2). This meeting, which is part of a preparation schedule, saw the central defender evolve with the U23 team of the Parisian club, as part of an effort to gradually regain his level of play.

This participation in a game with the reserve is due to a specific request made by Presnel Kimpembe to the Paris Saint-Germain leadership. Taking advantage of the lack of matches in Ligue 1 this weekend, the player wanted this experience to break with a period of inactivity and start a gradual return to competition, after a period of rest or recovery. This decision illustrates a desire to reintegrate into the rhythm of the game in a controlled manner.

The return to the field proved complex, as demonstrated by the fault that led to the award of a penalty to the opposing team, despite the initial advantage of 1-0 for Paris Saint-Germain. This incident highlights the challenges inherent in a return to competition after a period of shutdown and demonstrates the need for Presnel Kimpembe to gradually return to optimal performance.
