Achraf Hakimi, the 27-year-old right-back for Paris Saint-Germain, left the field injured after a tackle by Luis Diaz on Tuesday during PSG’s 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Journalist Julien Froment (France Info) provided details on the player’s absence.
“Achraf Hakimi has a sprained ankle, which could sideline him for approximately four to six weeks. An MRI scan he will undergo tomorrow should confirm this. A tough blow for PSG, who will have to improvise on the right. And a tough blow for Hakimi, with the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil just around the corner.”
Nothing is certain until the tests are completed, but it seems almost impossible to see Hakimi recover with less than four weeks of absence; it would almost be good news if it weren’t for the longer timeframe. Let’s wait for confirmation. The tests will take place this Wednesday; we can expect an official statement shortly afterward. The same applies to Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old striker).
