Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed Presnel Kimpembe has undergone surgery on his groin that will end his season.

The Ligue 1 champions bring their campaign to a close on Friday with a trip to Reims but will be without the 23-year-old centre-back.

"Presnel Kimpembe underwent a procedure on his groin on Thursday morning at the Sports Clinic in Paris," a club statement read.

"Led by Dr. Gilles Reboul, the intervention was conducted without problems. His rehabilitation will begin in the next few days."

Kimpembe, a World Cup winner last year, has also been left out of Didier Deschamps' France squad for the upcoming matches against Bolivia, Turkey and Andorra as he looks to recover from his injury problems.

His last game came at the beginning of May in the 1-1 home draw with Nice but he has missed the last two victories over Angers and Dijon.

Kimpembe has featured in 38 of PSG’s 55 games in all competitions this season after first establishing himself as a key squad member during the 2016-17 season.

He represented DR Congo at under-20 level before switching his allegiance to France for whom he made 18 appearances for under age sides before making is full international debut against Bulgaria in October 2016. He has seven international caps.

But this season has proven a struggle for Kimpembe due to a recurring groin issue and he has not been able to produce his best from consistently.

PSG hope that by having the operation at this stage added to rest during the close season he will be back at peak fitness for the start of the new campaign.

Brazilian ace Neymar will again miss out on Friday due to suspension while international colleague Thiago Silva remains sidelined due to injury.

Marquinhos is back after serving a domestic ban, however, and should return to central defence to help cover Kimpembe’s loss.

Marco Verratti and Juan Bernat may also come back into contention after being left out against Dijon last weekend.

In attack Thomas Tuchel is expected to keep the front three with Angel di Maria lining up alongside Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
