Hakimi injury worries Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco | OneFootball

PSG hosted Bayern and lost 2-1 last Tuesday in the third round of the Champions League. Besides the defeat, the Parisian team suffered a significant blow to their squad: Hakimi was injured after a hard tackle by Luis Díaz. The injury, which appears to be serious, is expected to keep the full-back off the field for a long period, sidelining him from both the French team and the Moroccan national team.

Although PSG officially classified the injury as a sprain in the left ankle, it is likely that Hakimi suffered a ligament injury and thus will be away from the field for more than a month. As a result, the player will miss part of the African Cup of Nations, held between December and January 2026, in Morocco.

What the foreign press says

According to French journalist Said Amdaa, Hakimi is expected to miss the first two group stage matches — against Comoros and Mali — scheduled for December 21 and 26, respectively.

However, there is a possibility that the injury is even more severe, which would cause the full-back to miss the entire tournament. If the absence is confirmed, it will be a significant loss for the Moroccan squad, as Hakimi is the team's main player, who dreams of winning the second African Cup of Nations title.

While Hakimi's future is not defined, PSG and Morocco are focusing their attention on the rest of the season. The Parisian team leads the French Championship with 24 points and is in third place in the Champions League with nine — three less than the leader Bayern.

Meanwhile, Morocco is focusing on the quest for their second continental title, 49 years after their only victory in 1976. Playing at home, the team hopes to repeat the historic feat.
