Achraf Hakimi injury: the length of his absence finally revealed!

04.11.25 FT Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain

Bayern Munich

Morocco is holding its breath. Just over a month before the kickoff of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Achraf Hakimi might well miss the opening matches of the tournament. Forced off the pitch due to injury in the clash against Bayern Munich (1-2) in the Champions League, the Paris Saint-Germain full-back left the Parc des Princes on crutches, his face grim and visibly worried.

An injury at the worst possible time

According to journalist Saïd Amdaa, the player is suffering from a ligament injury following a heavy challenge from Luis Díaz. Medical examinations are still underway, but initial reports suggest a lengthy spell on the sidelines. “The ligament is affected. There’s still debate over whether surgery is needed. He’s already ruled out for at least the first two AFCON matches,” Amdaa shared on his X account.

J’ai des nouvelles d’Achraf Hakimi.

Apparemment, c’est le ligament qui est touché. La réflexion maintenant est de savoir s’il faudra l’opérer ou pas. On m’indique qu’il sera out « au moins » pour les 2 premiers matchs de la CAN.

Je vous tiens informé de la suite. 🙏🏽

This scenario would be a real nightmare for Walid Regragui, who was counting on his vice-captain to lead the Atlas Lions on home soil. Hakimi, one of the squad’s most consistent and influential leaders, has been enjoying an excellent start to the season with Paris. Surgery would mean several weeks out, possibly ending his 2025 campaign altogether.

As PSG’s medical team deliberates, the whole of Morocco is hoping for a miracle. Losing their star player just as they begin a home AFCON would be a devastating blow for the entire nation.
