This is a huge blow for PSG, but also for Morocco. While the Atlas Lions will begin “their” CAN at the end of the year, they may have to do without their star, Achraf Hakimi.
Hit in the left ankle following a heinous tackle by Luis Diaz on Tuesday evening during Bayern Munich’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Hakimi left the field in tears. Unable to put his foot on the ground, the former Madrilenian suffers “ suffers from a severe left ankle sprain, which will result in several weeks of unavailability “, informed the capital club via a press release.
While the duration of his unavailability is not yet known, RMC Sport announced on Wednesday that the 27-year-old right back could be unavailable between six and eight weeks. According to information from Said Amdaa, journalist for the Mouv, Achraf Hakimi “ will be out “at least” for the first two CAN matches. »
Regragui found the solution
While waiting to learn more about the actual duration of unavailability, Walid Regragui is already looking for solutions in the event of a total or partial withdrawal of his flagship player. According to the media Al Mountakhab, Noussair Mazraoui would be the option favored by the Moroccan coach. The Mancunian had already taken the place of the Parisian during the latter’s absence against Tanzania.
In great pain when leaving the Parc des Princes pitch on Tuesday, Achraf Hakimi sent a message of hope on his social networks. “ Falls are part of the journey, the return makes the difference “, he wrote the day after his injury.
