Achraf Hakimi poised for Champions League final return

Paris Saint‑Germain are expected to welcome Achraf Hakimi back into full training this week as preparations intensify for the Champions League final against Arsenal on the 30th. According to L’Equipe, the Moroccan defender has followed his recovery plan precisely after suffering an injury during the semi‑final first leg against Bayern Munich on 28 April.

Hakimi has taken a cautious approach to avoid any setback, mindful of the more serious issue that nearly ruled him out of last year’s Africa Cup of Nations, where he still played a key role in Morocco’s run to the final. The 24‑year‑old is determined to return only if fully fit, balancing his desire to feature in Budapest with long‑term considerations ahead of the United States World Cup. Although he missed the second leg in Munich, all indications suggest he will be available as PSG chase back‑to‑back European titles under the spotlight of world football’s biggest stage.
