Paris St-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has been ruled out for the next few weeks following an injury sustained against Bayern Munich. The Morocco international suffered the issue during the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday, according to L'Equipe. Medical assessments confirmed the right-back will be unavailable for the return fixture in Germany.
Hakimi played a significant role in the initial 3-2 victory at the Parc des Princes before being substituted. Manager Luis Enrique must now choose between alternative defensive options for the upcoming second leg at the Allianz Arena. Nordi Mukiele or Warren Zaire-Emery are potential candidates to occupy the right-back position, per RMC Sport.
The absence of Hakimi is a significant blow to the French champions as they look to defend their narrow lead. The club has not provided a specific timeline for his return beyond the initial week-long outlook. PSG currently leads the Ligue 1 table and continues its pursuit of a first European title, according to France 24.
