Paris Saint-Germain have been hit with a fresh wave of injury problems, as the club confirmed that Achraf Hakimi has suffered a severe sprain in his left ankle and will be out for several weeks. The Moroccan full-back picked up the injury during Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich after a heavy challenge from Luis Diaz, who was eventually shown a red card.
Softfootball understands that there were real concerns Hakimi might've fractured something, but scans later ruled that out. Still, the news isn't good. The recovery timeline means his chances of featuring in next month's Africa Cup of Nations, which begins December 21 in Morocco, are now hanging by a thread.
It doesn't stop there for PSG. Ousmane Dembele has also been ruled out with a left calf problem, while Nuno Mendes is nursing a sprained left knee. Both players are expected to be out for a few weeks as well, leaving Luis Enrique short on key options at a crucial point in the season. Fabrizio Romano announced both players injuries in a post made via his official X account.
