Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier has, late on Sunday, confirmed the extent of the injury suffered by key defender Presnel Kimpembe.
For those who may have missed it, stopper Kimpembe set alarm bells ringing across the PSG fanbase earlier this evening.
This came upon the French international being forced into a premature departure from the latest edition of Le Classique.
En route to a dominant three-goal downing of Olympique Marseille, Kimpembe lasted just a quarter of an hour, before being stretchered from the field of play with a knee injury.
Speaking post-match, Christophe Galtier was therefore unsurprisingly drawn on the wellbeing of a key member of his backline.
And, unfortunately for all associated with the French champions, it was subsequently confirmed that Kimpembe has suffered a suspected Achilles tear.

Elsewhere on Sunday night, footage of the aforementioned Galtier being caught up in a heated exchange has come to the fore, too.
The moment in question saw a member of the home crowd physically restrained, whilst PSG’s headmaster was too ushered away from the scene after a lengthy verbal altercation:
