Achraf Hakimi's touching message for Nayef Aguerd

It’s an absence that did not go unnoticed this Thursday. RFI And France 24 have revealed the traditional eleven nominees for the title of best African player in Ligue 1. And this year, Achraf Hakimi is not there. The reason is obviously not sporting. This Friday, the dailyTeam explains the reasons for this absence.

The PSG right-back is not among the suitors due to his indictment in a legal case. He was put on trial for rape in recent weeks and the criteria for the Marc Vivien Foé prize stipulate that the nominee must “have exemplary behavior both on and off the field”.
