Achraf Hakimi absence shocks Germany before Bayern clash

Hakimi injury has dealt a major blow to Paris Saint-Germain ahead of their decisive second leg against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. The Moroccan player, who had been a key figure with consistent performances last season, will miss the return leg after suffering a thigh injury despite finishing the first match on the pitch.

Achraf Hakimi, once remarkably durable, now faces recurring physical setbacks after an exhausting previous campaign. In the middle of this tense European context, Hakimi injury raises serious concerns for PSG, as German media widely describe his absence as a decisive advantage for Bayern, given his impact both defensively and offensively.

German outlets such as Sky Germany, Sport1 and Kicker all highlight the scale of the loss, insisting that PSG will miss his speed and attacking runs against a high-pressing Bayern side. While Luis Enrique still has options like Warren Zaïre-Emery, the challenge remains immense for the Parisians, who must now prove they can cope without one of their most influential players, making Hakimi injury a central concern heading into the clash.
