We had mentioned a month of absence for Presnel Kimpembe.
It will be more.
Victim of a left hamstring injury last Saturday during the victory against Brest (1-0), the 27-year-old tricolor international defender "
will be unavailable for six weeks
" as reported by PSG on Tuesday.
And the Parisian club added: "
A new point will be made in 8 days
".
By then, the French champions will have faced Maccabi Haifa in Israel on Wednesday and OL at Groupama Stadium on Sunday, before the international break.
“Presko” will obviously miss the two matches of the Blues against Austria and Denmark, the last before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (November 20-December 18).

A priori, we will see the native of Gonesse (95) on the field for the return match against Haifa, on October 25 at the Parc des Princes, or perhaps the following Sunday against Troyes, in L1.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain have meetings with Nice, Benfica twice in the Champions League, Reims, Marseille for the Classic and Ajaccio.
DIY
Christophe Galtier will have to tinker in the meantime.
As we know, the Parisian coach asked for a reinforcement in central defense during the transfer window, with Milan Skriniar (Inter) as a priority target.
Nobody came, but Abdou Diallo (Leipzig) and Thilo Kehrer (West Ham) left.
A priori, it is Danilo Pereira who will take care of compensating for the absence of Kimpembe.
The Portuguese has also started the last three matches in the defensive trio.
Debauched in Leipzig this summer, Nordi Mukiele can also evolve in the axis, rather on the right, he who is also called to play at the piston position.
To see if the very young (17 years old) El Chadaille Bitshiabu will be asked to blow Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos in the coming weeks.
Note that the champions of France will still be deprived of Renato Sanches (injury to the right adductors) against Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday.
Suffering from lower back pain, Keylor Navas will not make the trip to Israel either.
For the rest, everyone is on deck, no other injured or suspended to report in Paris.
