Achraf Hakimi to undergo in-depth tests after discomfort in Bayern clash

Morocco international Achraf Hakimi is set to undergo an in-depth tests following discomfort in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals.

Hakimi suffered discomfort, but managed to full-time as the French giants cruised to a 5-4 victory over Bayern Munich.

However, PSG medical staff has swiftly move to assess the extent of the injury ahead of a crucial second-leg fixture next week.

Following initial assessments on Wednesday morning, PSG medical staff have already ruled out the possibility that Hakimi’s issue is merely related to fatigue or cramping. That early conclusion has prompted further scans to determine whether there is underlying muscular damage.

The club is now awaiting the results of these detailed tests, which will be decisive in determining whether the right-back will be available for selection in the upcoming match.

The situation has created uncertainty around Hakimi’s availability for the second leg next week, a fixture that carries significant weight in PSG’s campaign. The defender has been a key figure both defensively and offensively, making his potential absence a major tactical concern.

If the scans confirm a minor issue, the expectation is that Hakimi could still recover in time to start. However, if the injury is more serious than initially hoped, PSG may be forced into a reshuffle at right-back.

In the event that Hakimi is ruled out, young midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery is reportedly among the internal options being considered to fill the gap, reflecting PSG’s limited time to adjust should the injury prove significant.

The coaching staff are believed to be preparing contingency plans as they await the final medical verdict.

For now, PSG are adopting a cautious approach, with no final decision expected until all medical results are fully reviewed. The club is keen to avoid any risk of aggravating the issue, particularly with the season entering a decisive phase.

Hakimi’s condition will continue to be monitored closely over the next 24 hours, with his availability for the second leg hanging in the balance.
