Good and (very) bad news for PSG.
Absent from the field since November 13 and the card against Auxerre (5-1), before having to forfeit the World Cup, Presnel Kimpembe is back.
The 27-year-old French international defender (28 caps) is in the Parisian group for the trip to Monaco on Saturday (5 p.m.), during the 23rd day of Ligue 1. He had resumed training for several days already, partially participating in the sessions with the rest of his little comrades from Paris-SG.
To see when “Presko”, who was talked about at the time of the controversy over the vice-captain, will be able to apply for a place in the starting XI against Bayern on Tuesday.

For the match against ASM, it will obviously be too fair, a question of rhythm.
Confirmation of what we already knew about Kylian Mbappé and Leo Messi, out for the match at Louis II, knowing that the Argentinian must, a priori, resume training on Monday on the eve of the clash against Munich in the League champions.
Christophe Galtier was very clear on this in a press conference, confirming that everything is fine with Achraf Hakimi.
So much the better, knowing that the usual lining of the Moroccan, Nordi Mukiele is still unavailable...
Verratti, the tile?
The Parisian coach, however, did not mention the Marco Verratti case to the press.
There was no longer any question of the essential Talien midfielder in the club's medical press release.
And yet, Verratti does not appear in the group summoned for Monaco.
Remember that the "Little Owl" started Wednesday in Marseille (2-1 defeat) for the first time since Lens (3-1 defeat), on January 1st.
Injured, he had returned to the field against Reims (1-1).
Entering shortly before the hour mark, he had only spent ... 14 minutes on the lawn of the Parc des Princes before being expelled, his first direct red card, receiving a two-match suspension.
At the time of writing these lines, we do not know more about the reasons for his package.
After a difficult restart, he was replaced at the 74th on Wednesday.
