Paris Saint-Germain have provided an update on Achraf Hakimi's injury, confirming that the Moroccan full-back suffered a minor issue in his right thigh during the club's match against Brest.

The French champions announced on Monday that Hakimi will undergo treatment over the next two days before a further medical assessment is carried out to evaluate his recovery.

Hakimi's Return Remains Uncertain

The Parisian club has not yet confirmed a precise return date for the Morocco international.

As a result, Hakimi's availability for Paris Saint-Germain's meeting with Marseille next Sunday remains uncertain, with the upcoming medical assessment expected to provide a clearer picture of his condition.

The priority will be to ensure the defender makes a full recovery before returning to competitive action.

Morocco Monitoring Its Captain

Hakimi's fitness is also being closely followed by the Moroccan national team, with the defender's condition potentially affecting his availability for the upcoming international window.

The Atlas Lions are preparing for two important 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Gabon and Lesotho, making the captain's recovery an important development for the national team.

A Key Figure for the Atlas Lions

Hakimi remains one of Morocco's most influential players, combining defensive intelligence, attacking quality, and leadership on the international stage.

As the national team prepares for its next challenges, supporters will be hoping for positive news from the defender's next medical assessment.

For now, the focus is on recovery, patience, and ensuring that Morocco's captain returns to the pitch in the best possible condition.
