Hakimi injured and unavailable for several weeks

Paris Saint-Germain Announces Injury to Achraf Hakimi

Paris Saint-Germain has announced that Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi is suffering from a right thigh injury that will keep him sidelined for several weeks, according to a medical statement released by the club.

Injury Occurred Late in the Match
Hakimi sustained the injury during the final moments of the first leg of the semi-final, held at Parc des Princes, which concluded with a thrilling score of 5-4. Despite the pain, he had to finish the match as coach Luis Enrique had already made all five substitutions.

Medical Exams Clear Up Doubts
Initially referred to as simple cramps by team captain Marquinhos, further medical examinations conducted on Wednesday revealed a more serious injury involving the hamstring muscles.

Confirmed Absence for the Return Match
After the game, Luis Enrique remained cautious, opting to wait for medical results before making any statements. With the prognosis now clear, the Parisian staff will have to strategize without Hakimi for the upcoming return match in Munich.

Contingency Plans Considered
To compensate for Hakimi’s absence, PSG may rely on Warren Zaïre-Emery, with expected support from Fabián Ruiz in the midfield.
