The hearts of Moroccan supporters will be beating faster than usual as they anticipate an update from PSG concerning the injury to its star player Achraf Hakimi.
The right back broke down in tears after he was towards the end of the first half due to a nasty tackle from Bayern Munich’s forward Luiz Diaz. Díaz had scored twice for Bayern in the first half of the Champions League match between making a rash challenge from behind on Hakimi that earned the Bayern winger a straight red card after a VAR review.

How long will Achraf Hakimi be out injured?
There are reports that Hakimi could be out for three to five weeks, pending the medical examinations which he will undergo in the coming days. There is also a major doubt on Hakimi’s participation in the AFCON 2025 starting next month ( December 2025)
The 27-year-old was rested for the Ligue 1 game against Lorient to manage his workload before he returned against Nice last week.
PSG manager Luis Enrique now faces a big task of filling the holes left by Hakimi and Ousmane Dembele who was also substituted in the first half of the game against Bayern Munich.
Morocco supporters will hope for a swift recovery as Hakimi will be key in their quest to win the Africa Cup of Nations.
