Hakimi travels with PSG squad despite injury

Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi traveled with the Paris Saint Germain squad for the crucial Champions League semifinal return clash despite being injured.

Hakimi, who is the reigning African Footballer of the Year will not be in action for the decisive clash on Wednesday night after picking up a setback in the first leg, held in France last week.

Despite being injured, the Morocco star alongside teammates Chevalier and Ndjanto, personally requested to accompany the team for the high-stakes encounter.

The decision has been welcomed by the coaching staff, who see it as a strong sign of unity within the squad. Enrique highlighted that having injured players willingly travel to support their teammates reflects the mentality and character within the group as they prepare for one of their toughest tests in Europe.

Hakimi’s absence on the pitch is undoubtedly a blow for PSG, given his importance to the team. Known for his explosive pace, attacking runs, and defensive reliability, the right-back has become a cornerstone of the side, consistently delivering in big matches and offering balance on the flank.

While he will not be available for selection, his presence in the camp is expected to lift spirits in the dressing room. With the Champions League clash carrying huge significance, PSG will look to draw inspiration from their injured star as they aim to overcome Bayern Munich.

The move underscores the growing cohesion within Enrique’s squad, with players showing commitment beyond matchday involvement—an encouraging sign as the French champions chase European success.
