Hakimi Injury Update: Good News Ahead of Clasico

Paris Saint-Germain left Brest with three points and a headache. By Monday afternoon, at least one of those problems had cleared.

Achraf Hakimi, who limped off during Sunday’s tight Ligue 1 win over Stade Brest, has been diagnosed with only a minor thigh injury, the club have confirmed. The right-back was forced off after feeling discomfort that immediately raised fears of a hamstring issue and a spell on the sidelines.

Luis Enrique admitted after the game he could not judge the severity, which only fuelled the concern around one of PSG’s most influential players this season. The match itself had been a grind, decided by a single goal, and Hakimi’s departure cast a shadow over an otherwise valuable away victory.

On Monday, PSG used their official channels to calm the mood. The club stated that Hakimi had “sustained a minor injury to his right thigh” during the clash with Brest and will undergo medical treatment for two days. Once that short recovery period ends, he will have “an additional medical examination” to confirm the progress.

The key line for PSG fans is simple: as things stand, Hakimi is expected to be available for next Sunday’s Ligue 1 Clasico against Olympique Marseille.

For a team built on width, speed and aggressive full-back play, that changes the whole outlook of the week.
