Pain that can be powerful and very bothersome.
But the Parisian titi did everything to play with this handicap and not penalize his team.
What earn him some nice mockery from Kylian Mbappé, with whom he posed, swollen cheeks, on his social networks.

With the French world champion, only a serious injury seems to be able to prevent him from appearing on the lawns.
On November 4, in the Champions League against RB Leipzig (1-2), he received a blow to the foot causing a fractured toe.
Once again, Kimpembe gritted his teeth to be able to hold his place in subsequent encounters for a month, delaying his treatment somewhat.
Put to rest on December 5 for the trip to Montpellier (3-1), he was finally able to recover from this fracture.
