Hakimi Injury Update Calms PSG Clasico Fears

Paris Saint-Germain left Brest with three points and a scare. The win was narrow, the concern immediate.

Achraf Hakimi, one of Luis Enrique’s most influential players this season, pulled up during the Ligue 1 clash at Stade Brest and limped off clutching his thigh. From the touchline, it looked like the kind of hamstring issue that can wreck a month, not a week. Luis Enrique couldn’t offer clarity afterwards, admitting he didn’t yet know how bad it was.

On Monday, the club finally drew the line under the anxiety.

In a medical update on their official channels, PSG confirmed that Hakimi suffered “a minor injury to his right thigh” in the match against Brest and will receive medical treatment for two days. The plan is simple: treatment now, checks later. The club added that “an additional medical examination will be carried out at the end of this period.”

The wording matters. “Minor injury.” “Two days.” For a squad staring down a Ligue 1 Clasico, those are the phrases everyone around the Parc des Princes wanted to hear.

The immediate consequence is clear: Hakimi is expected to be available for next Sunday’s showdown with Olympique Marseille. For PSG, that’s huge. The Moroccan full-back has become a key outlet on the right, blending defensive work with the kind of surging runs that stretch and break defensive lines. Losing him for a grudge match of that magnitude would have been a major tactical blow.

Instead of reshuffling his back line and wide structure for one of the most charged fixtures in French football, Luis Enrique can now prepare as planned, assuming the follow-up tests confirm the initial optimism.

PSG paid a price for their hard-fought win in Brest, but not the one they feared most. The Clasico should still have Achraf Hakimi flying down that right flank.
