This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Auxerre (8th) at Abbé-Deschamps as part of the 19th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 8 PM, broadcast on Ligue1+). This Wednesday, Le Parisien indicates that Ibrahim Mbaye (17-year-old forward) and Achraf Hakimi (27-year-old right-back) will return to training today after finishing the CAN last Sunday.
“Ibrahim Mbaye and Achraf Hakimi, unfortunate finalists, return to the PSG Campus this Wednesday. Mbaye returned this Tuesday and will be in training at 5 PM. The same goes for Achraf Hakimi. A series of tests will logically be conducted to precisely determine their condition.”
These returns can only be beneficial, as PSG has been playing with a reduced squad for several matches. It is not yet certain that they will play on Friday, at least not as starters, but it is hoped. They have played several matches, just like the Parisian squad.
It can be noted that many players who participated in the CAN have played for their clubs in recent days. It is commendable to see that Paris is taking care of its players, but we can hope that Mbaye and Hakimi will be ready. Notably, the former, who was a substitute with Senegal throughout the competition, even though he came on in almost every match. We might know more tomorrow with coach Luis Enrique's press conference at 1 PM (to be followed live on our site before a full transcript).
