Hard blow for PSG. Tuesday evening, during the reception of Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes for the 4th day of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain not only conceded its first European defeat of the season (1-2), but also lost two key players to injury: Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi.
The 2025 Ballon d’Or, starter, left the field after just 25 minutes, injured in the calf. As for the Moroccan, he was the victim of a violent tackle from Luis Diaz, who was sent off immediately. Hakimi came out in tears and was seen after the match with a big boot to his left ankle. The exact nature of his injury remains unknown at this time.
Giovanni Castaldi disagrees
On the set of the Canal Champions Club, Laure Boulleau did not hide her concern. “It sucks. He (Luis Diaz) has just had a great half-time and he has just ruined his perfectly successful half-time in spirit. From my little experience, this looks like a serious ankle sprain. I would say 6-8 weeks. We won’t see him again before the break.”she said, raising fears of the worst for Hakimi.
For his part, Giovanni Castaldi was rather optimistic, taking the opposite view from Laure Boulleau. Present at the Parc des Princes, the journalist from The Team Channel mentioned a shorter absence for the Parisian. “We have the first feedback. Luis Enrique started talking about it, there will be an MRI. And on the PSG side, we are counting on an absence of three to five weeks for the moment compared to the first returns that there are now”he assured at the microphone of The Evening Team.
