PSG confirmed in a club statement Hakimi, 27, would be sidelined for “the next few weeks” after sustaining a right thigh injury during his side’s 5-4 first-leg victory over Bayern on Tuesday. The timeframe for recovery means the Morocco international will miss Wednesday’s return leg at the Allianz Arena, but would be in contention to return for the Champions League final on May 30, should PSG progress. Luis Enrique’s side will play the winner of the other semi-final tie between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal should they avoid defeat in Munich. The timeline for return also means Hakimi is expected to be available for the 2026 World Cup, where he will captain Morocco. The right-back has been capped 95 times at international level, and played an important role in Morocco’s run to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup and 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final. Hakimi played the full 90 minutes of PSG’s win over Bayern at Parc des Princes on Tuesday. He was previously sidelined between November and January due to a severe ankle sprain sustained against Bayern in his side’s Champions League league phase defeat. He returned in time to represent Morocco at AFCON, but was an unused substitute during their opening two group stage matches. Spot the pattern.
