Luis Enrique Concerned About Hakimi's Injury After Brest Win

Paris Saint-Germain walked away from Brest with three points on Sunday. They may have lost something far more important on the way out.

Achraf Hakimi, one of the pillars of Luis Enrique’s new-look side, limped off before half-time with what appeared to be a muscle problem, handing PSG their first significant injury scare of the season.

The Morocco right-back pulled up a few minutes before the interval in the Ligue 1 clash, immediately feeling for his right adductor. He slowed near the touchline, tested the leg himself, then signalled to the bench that he could not continue. No theatrics, no attempt to play through it. Just a clear message: something was wrong.

For a team that has relied heavily on Hakimi’s energy and width on the flank, the sight of him heading off early was a jolt. With an international break just around the corner, concern in Paris will not be limited to the club’s training ground.

Asked after the game about the extent of the damage, Luis Enrique chose his words carefully and kept expectations in check. Speaking to Foot Mercato, the PSG coach said: “Hakimi? I hope the injury is not serious, it is difficult to determine that. He will undergo a medical examination tomorrow.”

That was as far as he went. No timelines, no speculation.

PSG will now wait on the results of those tests to understand the full nature of the adductor issue and how long the 25-year-old could be missing. For a side still knitting together its patterns under a new coach, the answer may shape more than just the next team sheet.
