Hakimi Injury Update Eases PSG's Clasico Concerns

Paris Saint-Germain walked out of Brest with three points and a scare. The win was narrow, the concern immediate.

Achraf Hakimi, one of Luis Enrique’s most influential players this season, limped off during the Ligue 1 clash at Stade Brest, clutching his thigh and leaving the bench and staff on edge. From the touchline, the worry was obvious. The coach admitted afterwards he couldn’t yet gauge how serious it was.

The answer arrived on Monday.

PSG, via an official medical update on their website, confirmed the Moroccan full-back has suffered only a “minor injury to his right thigh” in the game against Brest. The club stated that Hakimi will receive medical treatment for two days, with an additional examination scheduled at the end of that period to confirm his recovery.

The immediate tension around the player’s availability eased in an instant.

Upcoming Fixture

Crucially for PSG, the timeline means Hakimi is expected to be available for next Sunday’s Ligue 1 Clasico against Olympique Marseille, a fixture that always carries weight, regardless of the table or the form book. His presence on that right flank, both in defence and as an attacking outlet, has become a central part of Enrique’s structure.

PSG may have paid a physical price for their hard-fought win in Brest, but the damage looks limited. With Marseille looming, that makes all the difference.
