PSG can breathe. After its clear victory in Brest (3-0) on Saturday, which allows it to regain the lead in Ligue 1 to the detriment of OM, the Parisian club travels to Lorient this Wednesday for the 10th day. But it will be without Achraf Hakimi, double scorer against Stade Brestois.

Paris Saint-Germain made the news official on X: “In agreement with the sports management and the technical staff, Achraf Hakimi is left to rest. He will resume collective training next Thursday. » In high demand last season and in the running for the African Ballon d'Or, the Moroccan benefits from special attention from the Parisian staff.

Zaire-Emery to replace him?

For several months, Hakimi has been playing one match after another and Luis Enrique prefers to spare the Moroccan international, considered one of the best in his position in the world. The objective is to preserve your freshness for future events and avoid any risk of fatigue or injury.

The absence of the right side could lead Luis Enrique to call on other elements for the right lane, Warren Zaire-Emery being tipped to take over as interim role. Hakimi is expected to return for the OGC Nice reception next weekend, allowing PSG to continue to manage their key executives while remaining competitive in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.
