Despite his sprain, which could sideline him for around six weeks, Achraf Hakimi is determined to join the national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, in Morocco. Just ten days after his injury during PSG's match against Bayern Munich (1–2), the Moroccan international has already resumed training. A video he shared on Saturday shows him working on his rehabilitation, muscle strengthening, and cycling. Following Hakimi's diagnosis on November 4, national coach Walid Regragui struck a reassuring tone. During the press conference unveiling the squad list for the friendlies against Mozambique and Uganda, he promised to apply «the best possible protocol to ensure Achraf Hakimi returns at 100%». «We maintain a good relationship with PSG. We will implement the best possible protocol to have Achraf back at 100% for the match against Comoros», Regragui said.
