PSG: Hakimi & Mbaye Return After CAN | Wednesday Update

Their returns were obviously expected on the PSG side, notably by Luis Enrique, the day after the defeat in the Champions League in Lisbon.

Ibrahim Mbaye, new African champion with Senegal at the end of a crazy CAN final against Morocco, with a 1-0 victory after extra time and an incredible scenario, and Achraf Hakimi, unfortunate finalist, find their way back to the PSG Campus this Wednesday.

Mbaye returned this Tuesday and will be at training at 5 p.m. Same thing for Achraf Hakimi, the day after the publication of a beautiful message on social networks to evoke his sadness after this cruel defeat at home.

Luis Enrique had announced a rapid return of the two players a few days ago, which is therefore confirmed. A battery of tests will logically be carried out to precisely establish their condition. Their return will bring more solutions while only five outfield players were on the bench this Tuesday evening in the Champions League.

PSG travels to Auxerre this Friday evening before hosting Newcastle next Wednesday in the Champions League, for a very important match with a view to direct qualification for the round of 16.
