  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Kimpembe, who was sidelined for an incredible 638 days, has returned to the PSG matchday squad for their upcoming Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. The 29-year-old defender will be joined by forward Goncalo Ramos, who has not played since the club's season opener against Le Havre where he picked up an ankle injury.

  Kimpembe suffered a terrible ACL injury during PSG's Ligue 1 clash against Marseille in the 2022-23 campaign. He had to be stretchered off in the 16th minute of the match and has not appeared in a game since then. While the player has finally returned after a long wait, it is unlikely that he will play a part in the crucial Champions League fixture.
