Hakimi Injury Update Ahead of Ligue 1 Clasico

Paris Saint-Germain walked out of Brest with three points and a headache. The win was narrow, the concern immediate. Achraf Hakimi, one of Luis Enrique’s key outlets on the right, pulled up and limped off, clutching his thigh and leaving a cloud over an already hard-fought night.

On Monday, that cloud lifted.

PSG confirmed on their official channels that Hakimi suffered only a minor injury to his right thigh during the clash with Stade Brest. The club stated the Moroccan defender will receive medical treatment for two days, with a further examination scheduled once that short period is over.

It sounded routine. Crucially, it sounded reassuring.

Hakimi’s early exit had sparked fears of a hamstring problem that might rule him out of the first Ligue 1 Clasico of the season against Olympique Marseille. Luis Enrique admitted after the game he could not yet measure the extent of the damage, which only fed the anxiety around a player who has been central to PSG’s attacking structure.

Now the picture is far clearer. Barring any surprise in the follow-up tests, Hakimi is expected to be available for Sunday’s showdown with Marseille.

For PSG, that changes the mood entirely. A tight, gritty win at Brest came at a cost, but not the heavy one many inside the club had braced for. And with Marseille next on the calendar, having Hakimi back on that right flank is not just welcome news. It could be decisive.
