PSG injury and suspension list: When will Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe return to bolster Luis Enrique's squad?

A new season hasn't brought immediate success for PSG. The Parisians have endured a mixed start to the 2023-24 season, and find themselves slightly off the pace in Ligue 1. Kylian Mbappe has been shaky at times, while Luis Enrique's tinkering has seen the reigning champs struggle to find form. Still, they remain in striking distance, and seem guaranteed to advance to the Champions League knockouts. It is also, you'd feel, only a matter of time before they run away with Ligue 1.

There are a couple of injuries to contend with, too. Vice-captain Presnel Kimpembe remains out after rupturing his Achilles tendon last spring — although he is making progress. Reigning Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year Nuno Mendes has also undergone hamstring surgery that will keep him sidelined until the new year. But there is good news elsewhere, with Marco Asensio and Nordi Mukiele both returning to the fray.

GOAL takes a look at who's injured, and how long they might be out for.
