Tests carried out on Wednesday confirmed a muscle tear and not just spasms as expected. It’s a big blow for Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the Champions League semi-final second leg.
The Moroccan national team member (27) underwent examinations in the morning, and then additional tests in the afternoon, which confirmed the bad news. Although he will not play against Bayern next week, he should be ready if they reach the final. His appearance at the 2026 World Cup with Morocco is also not in jeopardy.

Hakimi collapsed in the 89th minute after a duel with Konrad Laimer. He sat down on the Parc des Princes pitch holding the back of his right thigh, which immediately indicated a muscle injury. With coach Luis Enrique having already used all the substitutions, Hakimi stayed on the field for the rest of the game, but moved into attack to reduce the workload.
PSG does not have a natural replacement in that position, so in his absence, coach Luis Enrique could place Warren Zaïre-Emery in the right-back position. Although it is not his primary position, he has reliably played in that position several times this season.
Hakimi played 31 games in all competitions this season and scored three goals with eight assists. Transfermarkt values him at 80 million euros, which makes him the sixth most expensive player of the Paris club.
