Champions League - PSG: Will Hakimi feature against Newcastle? A clear trend emerges

Tomorrow, the Champions League group stage will deliver its verdict with the matches of Matchday 8. Returning from AFCON 2025, Achraf Hakimi is expected to be available for the clash against Newcastle at the Parc des Princes.

For this Matchday 8 Champions League showdown against Newcastle, PSG could count on two key reinforcements. According to L'Equipe, Achraf Hakimi is in contention for a spot in the squad, just ten days after losing the AFCON 2025 final to Senegal (0-1 aet). Having suffered an ankle injury before joining his national team, the Moroccan hasn't featured for PSG in nearly three months.

João Neves is also expected to return. After suffering a muscle setback, the Portuguese midfielder has missed the last three weeks of action. A final decision will be made after Tuesday's training session.
