Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has suffered a new injury, according to the club's official website.

The France international was forced off during PSG's victory over Rennes on Saturday after appearing to suffer a knee injury. The 25-year-old had been impressive for the Ligue 1 side in recent weeks and his absence could be a blow as they look to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

Kimpembe is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, but it seems that this new knock will keep him out for longer. The Frenchman underwent surgery last year to repair a previous injury to his right leg,Saudi Pro League Focus so there may be some concern about how quickly he can return to full fitness.

It remains to be seen what the long-term impact of Kimpembe's latest injury will be on PSG's defence, which has struggled recently without the experienced presence of Thiago Silva. However, the team will have to rely on the strength and resilience of their other defenders to hold up against the best opposition in Europe.
