Luis Enrique Concerned as Hakimi Exits Early in Brest

Paris Saint-Germain left Brest with the points on Sunday, but also with their first real scare of the season.

Achraf Hakimi, one of Luis Enrique’s key pillars on the right, limped out of the Ligue 1 clash just before half-time, clutching his right adductor and immediately signalling that he could not continue.

The Morocco full-back tried to carry on. He slowed, moved towards the touchline, then stopped to prod at the muscle himself, a grimace giving away what his body already knew. Moments later, he called for the change and headed off, leaving PSG to navigate the rest of the night without him.

For a side that had so far dodged the early-season injury curse, it was a jolt. With the international break looming, the sight of Hakimi exiting early will not sit easily in Paris or in Morocco.

Luis Enrique, asked about the defender’s condition after the win, kept his guard up.

“Hakimi? I hope the injury is not serious, it is difficult to determine that. He will undergo a medical examination tomorrow,” he said, as reported by Foot Mercato.

No timelines. No speculation. Just a wait.

PSG will now lean on those medical tests to learn the full extent of the damage and to find out how long they might be without one of their most influential outlets. With the season still stretching out ahead, the answer could shape more than just the next team sheet.
