So it's more serious than expected.
Estimated at around 1 month in the wake of the match against Brest, during which he was touched, Presnel Kimpembe will be unavailable for around six weeks, Paris Saint-Germain has just announced in the medical point preceding his trip to Haifa.
“Victim of a lesion of the left hamstrings” by venturing to a tackle well supported on the Brestois Cardona at the very end of the meeting against the Bretons, the French central defender had immediately left the lawn, not without brilliance.

A six-week unavailability would therefore mean a return to competition hoped for the week of October 24.
In this period of time, Paris will play 8 matches, and not the least: three in the Champions League (Haïfa this Wednesday, and the two matches against Benfica on October 5 and 11) and five in Ligue 1, including the trip to Lyon (this Sunday) and the reception of Olympique de Marseille for the first "Classic" of the season, on October 16th.
In its medical point, PSG also specifies that Renato Sanches and Keylor Navas will not, as planned, be traveling to Haifa this Tuesday afternoon.
The first is recovering from a “damage to the right adductors” and “will remain in care at the Training Center”, while the second, as for the trip to Lille, “suffers from lower back pain”.
The world champion defender will also miss the last two meetings of the Blues before the World Cup: France-Austria on September 22 and Denmark-France on September 25.
