Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has suffered a new injury and will be out for two weeks, according to the club's medical staff.
The Frenchman sustained the injury during training on Monday and was ruled out of PSG's match against Lille on Wednesday night. The 28-year-old had been in good form this season, having scored twice in four games since his move from Stade Rennais last summer.
Kimpembe is one of the most experienced defenders in the league and is known for his leadership qualities. He has been a key player for PSG, helping them win the Ligue 1 title last season.

Despite the setback, PSG manager Thomas Tuchel remains optimistic about their chances of success in the upcoming matches. "We have a lot of quality players, so we can still compete," he said. "But it's always difficult when you lose key players like that."
