France defender Presnel Kimpembe has suffered an Achilles injury three weeks away from their first game at the World Cup, his club Paris Saint-Germain announced on Tuesday.
Kimpembe, 27, has already missed seven weeks of action this season due to a thigh issue.
Les Bleus start the defence of their title on November 22 against Australia in Al Wakrah.
“Following a knock, Presnel Kimpembe has discomfort in his right Achilles tendon and will remain for treatment at the training centre,” PSG said in a statement.
