Presnel Kimpembe's injury update: Paris Saint-Germain's response.

On Friday, the French Football Federation announced that Presnel Kimpembe had suffered a serious knee injury during PSG's match against Monaco on Wednesday night. The defender was stretchered off the pitch and underwent surgery to repair the damage.

Kimpembe has been one of PSG's most reliable defenders this season, contributing six clean sheets in 17 appearances for the club. His injury is likely to be a major blow for PSG, who will now have to find a replacement for their star player.

The club's medical team immediately started work on treating Kimpembe, with the player being kept in a stable condition throughout the night. He was then taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery to repair the ligament damage to his left knee.

According to reports, Kimpembe's recovery period could take several weeks, which means he may miss the rest of the season. However, the club's management is hopeful that he will make a full recovery and return to action as soon as possible.

In the meantime, PSG will have to rely on other players such as Thilo Kehrer and Layvin Kurzawa to fill the gap left by Kimpembe's absence. It remains to be seen how the club will manage without its star defender, but it's clear that they will need to adapt quickly if they want to continue their title challenge this season.
