Paris Saint-Germain is gradually regaining its full strength as players who participated in the World Cup return from their holidays. We have already seen several returns earlier in the pre-season, and it was already known that the French contingent (Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and Ousmane Dembélé), along with Fabian Ruiz (Spain), would be back by Monday. However, there was no clear information regarding Achraf Hakimi. Djamel has now revealed the return date for the 27-year-old Moroccan right-back.
Achraf Hakimi will return to the Campus this Monday!
While “this Monday” might not seem particularly early—and indeed appears to be the final return date—it is nonetheless good news. It also highlights the need for rest for Hakimi, who had a few extra days off compared to the other World Cup participants following their elimination. It is worth noting that the full-back has played a relentless schedule over the past two years, particularly since January following his recovery from an ankle injury.
Sometimes, taking the time to rest properly is essential for a stronger comeback. PSG will once again be aiming for every trophy this season, a goal that requires both physical strength and mental freshness. Naturally, it will take time for the squad to reach peak form—that is simply part of the season.
