DR ‹ › Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi suffered an injury during Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich, raising concerns for both Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco ahead of the 2026 World Cup this summer. The right-back, who had already reported hamstring discomfort days earlier, went down clutching the back of his leg late in the match. With no substitutions remaining, he stayed on the pitch until the final whistle despite the pain. Hakimi had been substituted at halftime in PSG's previous match against Angers as a precaution, but still started against Bayern due to the importance of the fixture. Despite the risk, he delivered a strong performance, including an assist for Ousmane Dembélé in the 5-4 win. PSG coach Luis Enrique remained cautious after the match, saying, «I don't know what's going on. We need to wait for the tests to determine the injury». Early indications suggest a muscular issue, though his availability for the second leg remains uncertain. He is expected to be rested for PSG's upcoming league match, as both club and country hope the setback proves minor ahead of crucial fixtures.
