Hakimi to miss Bayern return but expected back for potential final

Paris Saint‑Germain will be without Achraf Hakimi for their Champions League semi‑final second leg against Bayern Munich after medical tests confirmed the right‑back suffered a hamstring tear in the first meeting. According to RMC Sport, the Moroccan defender has been officially ruled out of the trip to the Allianz Arena, leaving Luis Enrique with a major selection dilemma on the right flank for one of the season’s defining fixtures.

Hakimi’s absence is a significant setback, given his importance in both phases of play, but PSG remain hopeful he could return should they reach the final. Crucially, the injury is not expected to jeopardise his place at the upcoming World Cup, offering reassurance to both club and country. While PSG prepare for a decisive night in Germany, Hakimi will focus on recovery, aiming to be available again if the team extend their European campaign to the final stage.
