Paris Saint-Germain’s win over Brest came with a late shadow: Achraf Hakimi left the field before half-time, and attention now turns to whether the Moroccan full-back can be ready for Marseille.
PSG injury update: Achraf Hakimi faces further checks before Marseille trip
SEO Title: PSG confirm Achraf Hakimi thigh injury ahead of Marseille clash
Meta Description: PSG have confirmed that Achraf Hakimi has a minor right-thigh injury after leaving the Brest match, with further tests planned before Sunday’s Ligue 1 trip to Marseille.
Hakimi to undergo treatment
- Hakimi was forced off in the 39th minute of PSG’s Ligue 1 match against Brest on Sunday after a collision with an opposing defender.
- The Morocco international received treatment on his right adductor but could not continue, with Fabián Ruiz taking his place.
- PSG confirmed on Monday that the defender has sustained a minor injury to his right thigh.
- He will receive treatment for the next two days before undergoing a more detailed medical assessment.
The update offers some encouragement for Luis Enrique, although Hakimi’s condition will be closely monitored with the season’s first Le Classique approaching. PSG are due to face Marseille at the Vélodrome on Sunday.
Hakimi has become one of the central figures in a PSG side described as back-to-back European champions, and his availability would matter greatly in Marseille, where the champions will expect a hostile Ligue 1 night.
Brest victory lifts PSG after slow start
PSG beat Brest 1-0 for their first Ligue 1 victory of the season, but the narrow result left them eighth in the table.
They sit five points behind leaders Lille, who are level on points with Monaco and Rennes but ahead on goal difference. The Marseille match now arrives as an early test of PSG’s momentum, with Hakimi’s medical review set to determine whether he can be involved.
