Zambia v Morocco: verdict in for Hakimi! | OneFootball

Walid Regragui, the coach of Morocco, held a press conference this Sunday on the eve of the match against Zambia as part of the 3rd day of CAN 2025. He was notably asked to provide an update on the possible return of Achraf Hakimi to competition. The coach was particularly clear regarding the 27-year-old right-back from Paris Saint-Germain.

It seemed quite certain, and now it's confirmed: Hakimi will return to competition this Monday. A significant moment for the player, who has been injured since early November due to a nasty tackle from Luis Diaz during the Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

He has worked very hard to come back, and now it's time to reach the final stage. This comes with a match in the national team, in a CAN at home where his country has high hopes. We trust Hakimi not to be overwhelmed by the pressure. It remains to be seen what his playing time and exact form will be.
