ACHRAF HAKIMI NEWS

Probable for OL clash Hakimi (muscle) has returned to full training Thursday and will be available for Sunday's match versus Lyon, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Hakimi missed five of his last six matches with multiple issues but he was recovered early over the break and even played 50 minutes in the friendly game of his country Morocco versus Brazil last weekend. His return to full training Thursday surely means he hasn't suffered any setbacks and will remain on course for a start in the derby. PSG however have merely held one shutout in last 12 matches.

Ruled out versus Brest Hakimi is dealing with a muscle pain and is ruled out for Saturday's match versus Brest.

Impact Hakimi is the latest victim of the injury bug as a result of a tough match up with Bayern midweek in the Champions League. Timothee Pembele should start at right wing-back and El Chadaille Bitshiabu could start at center-back with Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele all missing as well. Hakimi however is expected back next week.

Sends six crosses in 2-0 loss Hakimi recorded six crosses (zero accurate) and four tackles in Wednesday's 2-0 loss versus Bayern Munich. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.

Impact Hakimi was active in his return from an injury but couldn't really have a major impact. The full-back had one goal and two assists over his past three starts before the injury and with Nordi Mukiele out the former would be surely starting again over the next game or two.

Starting versus Bayern Hakimi (hamstring) will be in the starting XI against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Impact Hakimi returns following a three-match stint on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury suffered in the first leg versus Bayern. Prior to his absence, the right-back was thriving in the offensive third with one goal on four shots (two on target), two assists and 10 crosses (three accurate) in his last five appearances (four starts). Given his ability to push the attack, Hakimi should offer decent fantasy upside despite not having a role on corners.

Hakimi has also been indicted for sexual assault by French authorities, which puts his long-term status in question, but for now it seems he will be available for selection on Wednesday.

Indicted by French officials Hakimi (hamstring) was indicted for sexual assault and his status moving forward will be in a limbo, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Hakimi was just back in full training Friday and was expected to return to action next week but now this development puts his whole season under threat. There is still nothing official from PSG though in terms of internal suspension and he could still be able to play until final judgement in court but his situation should be monitored closely for the time being. Nordi Mukiele is also dealing with a small issue and Timothee Pembele could be up for a start on the right flank.

Dealing with hamstring issue Hakimi will be receiving treatment for some hamstring discomfort ahead of Sunday's clash against Lille, PSG announced Friday.

Impact Hakimi only lasted one half in Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich, and this hamstring problem may have been a factor in that substitution. For now he will be questionable for Sunday's Ligue 1 clash with Lille, though there doesn't seem to be any indication that he's in danger of missing that match.

Quiet in loss to Bayern Hakimi generated one clearanceand one interception in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Hakimi was very quiet in the first half and was replaced after merely 45 minutes on the pitch. There was no report of an injury and it must have been purely a tactical sub so he should be good to go over the weekend.

Impact Hakimi wasn't healthy enough to start here but with a few more days of training should be full go for Bayern clash. He's been in a stellar form of late with one goal and two assists over his past two starts but hasn't had a clean sheet in six straight starts now.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Faces late fitness test Saturday Hakimi was named in the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Monaco but could be facing a late fitness test due to muscle fatigue, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Hakimi has played quite a lot of late with Nordi Mukiele still sidelined and the former could be due some rest, especially given his current fitness struggles and with just days left ahead of the big clash with Bayern. That could mean a start for Timothy Pembele on the right flank.

Impact Hakimi finally delivered his first major offensive contribution after the World Cup in a very impressive display. The full-back seems to be coming back to his own in the nick of time with the Champions League return approaching though with just one shutout in last six matches for PSG his fantasy production has been hurt a bit.

Allows one in draw Hakimi generated one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Reims.

Impact Hakimi only got the nod for his second start after the World Cup but he should be up for some regular starts now with Nordi Mukiele on the sidelines right now. Parisians though have been woeful in the back with just one shutout in five matches which has been hurting the defenders' fantasy production.
