The Moroccan international did not participate in PSG's last two matches. His trainer maintains a certain mystery around his absence.

On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain managed to win (1-2) on the pitch of Racing Club de Lens, on the occasion of the 18th day of Ligue 1. Achraf Hakimi,
the best player of the first part of the season for the capital club
had not been summoned for this meeting.

Asked about this absence, Luis Enrique left room for a certain suspense. “To be honest, I don't know if I can tell you about it, but it's nothing serious anyway. We didn't want to take any risks. It's not really medical because he's not injured,” confessed the Spanish technician in a post-match press conference.

And the former coach of La Roja continued:
“During the last training session, he experienced a strange, somewhat questionable situation. As Achraf Hakimi has already had a lot of playing time, we preferred to rest him.”

The Moroccan international was already not part of the group that was made
a scare, last Wednesday, during the sixteenth of

final of the Coupe de France, against the amateurs of Espaly. However, his participation in the crucial Champions League match against Manchester City, in three days, is not in question.
