Back in Paris after losing the CAN, Achraf Hakimi should not play again with PSG this weekend.
Victim of a major ankle sprain on November 4 against Bayern Munich, Achraf Hakimi succeeded in his challenge of playing in the CAN with Morocco. Spared during the first two matches of the Atlas Lions, the 27-year-old right back came into play during the last group match, before being started until the final lost against Senegal on Sunday (1-0, ap).
Despite the immense disappointment of having lost the final, the former Madrilenian quickly made his return to Paris, reports The Parisian. « A battery of tests will logically be carried out » in order to determine the physical state of the player, explains the regional daily.
Hakimi back against Newcastle?
Unlike Ibrahim Mbaye, winner of the CAN with the Lions of Teranga, Achraf Hakimi was not seen at training this Wednesday. And for good reason, he should only make his return next Wednesday, when Newcastle hosts in the Champions League, still according to
The Parisian.
On the other hand, Ibrahim Mbaye could apply for a place in the group this Friday, against Auxerre. Also note the returns to training Kang-In Lee and Joao Neves, both absent for the trip to Sporting (2-1 defeat by PSG).
