Paris Saint-Germain left Brest with three points, but the victory came with uncertainty surrounding Achraf Hakimi. The Morocco international was forced out before half-time after appearing to feel discomfort, turning the victory into a nervous fitness watch. PSG will now wait in the coming days for medical clarity on one of their most influential players.
Achraf Hakimi Injury Update
Hakimi started PSG’s Ligue 1 trip to Brest on Sunday but his night was cut short in the 39th minute. He was replaced by Fabian Ruiz, with Warren Zaire-Emery moving across to cover the right side. His condition prompted Luis Enrique to call upon a replacement for Hakimi.
Reports indicated the issue was around his right adductor. Hakimi tested the area before signalling that he needed to come off. However, PSG have yet to confirm a definitive diagnosis or establish a recovery timeline.
Speaking after PSG’s 1-0 victory, Luis Enrique refused to speculate on the severity of the problem. The Spanish coach said he hoped the injury was not serious, but admitted it was difficult to assess immediately.
Hakimi is due to undergo medical examinations, with the results set to determine his recovery.
PSG Await Medical Results For Hakimi
The timing makes the situation crucial. PSG finally secured their first Ligue 1 victory of the campaign in Brittany, with Ferran Torres scoring in the fifth minute. The result lifted the French champions to seventh place after four league matches.
Hakimi’s importance to Enrique’s system is difficult to overlook. His pace, stamina and attacking thrust make him a constant outlet on the right flank, while his recovery speed supports PSG’s aggressive shape. UEFA’s Champions League statistics underline his value to the European champions.
Hakimi covered 777.3 metres at sprint pace in a single match during the Ligue 1 2024-25 season, highlighting the explosive running that has become central to his game.
For now, PSG have no confirmed absence period. Medical tests should provide the decisive answer, while Enrique and his staff will hope the concern proves temporary rather than another lengthy spell on the treatment table.
