May 3rd News, "The Team" published an article today, reporting on the injury of Paris defender Kim Pembén.

Since returning to the French Cup against Le Mans in early February, Kimpembé has played few games. The player who has been missing for nearly two years due to a ruptured right Achilles tendon was expected to get a substitute for the sixth time in the game against Strasbourg, but Paris Saint-Germain announced that the 29-year-old vice captain needs to rest for several weeks due to bone edema of the second metatarsal bone of the right foot, and may be reimbursed in advance for the season.

Bone edema is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the bone, usually caused by impact, excessive loading, or inflammatory diseases. Depending on the severity, the recovery cycle usually takes between six weeks and several months. Even with the shortest recovery period, it is almost impossible for Kinpenbe to return to the training ground before the end of the Paris season. The 2018 World Cup winner may target the Club World Cup in the United States from June 14 to July 13.

Dembele will also be absent in this game. Considering that Paris will compete with Arsenal in the second round of the Champions League in four days, the coaching staff will rotate the lineup.
