The image, which sends chills down your spine, has been playing in a loop since Tuesday evening. In an innocuous action, Achraf Hakimi was literally cut up by attacker Luis Diaz, author of a tackle from behind with his feet off the ground.
Forced to give up his place after bursting into tears, the Moroccan international may fear the worst. Because this injury comes at a very particular time, at a minus and the kick-off of the African Cup of Nations, of which Morocco will be the host country.
The competition will take place from December 21, 2025 and January 18, 2026. Favorite for the title, Morocco is supported by the talent and leadership of Achraf Hakimi, star adored in his country. So an entire people has been holding their breath since last night.
First contrasting diagnoses for Hakimi
At the moment, there are several rumors circulating. Radio France journalist Julien Froment talks about a sprain
“ which could keep Hakimi away for approximately between 4 and 6 weeks.”
“The MRI he will have tomorrow should confirm all of this. Hard blow for PSG, who will have to tinker on the right. And a hard blow for Hakimi, as the CAN at home approaches.”
Said Amdaa, another colleague from the Mouv media, is more pessimistic.
“ Apparently it’s the ligament that’s affected. The thinking now is whether it will be necessary to operate or not. I am told that he will be out “at least” for the first 2 matches of the CAN. » Finally, Canal + consultant Laure Boulleau had predicted an even darker picture by evoking an absence “8 to 10 weeks”. In any case, the probability of seeing Achraf Hakimi with the jersey of his selection at the curtain-raiser of the CAN is today very low.
