PSG plan Hakimi and Mbaye return after the Africa Cup of Nations | OneFootball

According to information relayed by Bruno Salomon, Paris Saint-Germain has scheduled a phone call this evening with Achraf Hakimi (27 years old) and Ibrahim Mbaye (17 years old) to precisely set their return date to training after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The club's objective is to organize the collective resumption based on each player's individual recovery, avoiding unnecessary tension in communication around the group.

PSG's communication in this matter follows a pragmatic and measured logic. After an international competition like the Africa Cup of Nations, each player returns with a unique balance of physical fatigue and mental demands. Scheduling a simple phone meeting to agree on return dates allows the club to avoid media approximations or premature announcements.

This places the discussion at an individual level, between the medical/technical staff and the player, providing room to adapt the resumption according to the actual state of fitness rather than a strict calendar. This approach also shows that PSG is not seeking to impose a standardized return but aims to reconcile the sporting needs of the team with the physical preservation of the players, reducing the risks of relapse or injury. It is a sober yet coherent approach, in line with a club that manages a high-level squad with care and method.
