Luis Enrique on Hakimi's Injury Concerns After Brest Match

Achraf Hakimi’s evening in Brest ended with a grimace and a slow walk to the touchline, turning Paris Saint-Germain’s routine league outing into their first real injury scare of the season.

The Morocco right-back pulled up a few minutes before half-time in Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash, immediately feeling for his right adductor. He paused on the sideline, tested the muscle himself, then signalled to the bench. No theatrics, just a clear message: he could not continue.

For PSG, who have sailed through the opening stretch of the campaign without a major physical setback, it was an unwelcome first. With the international break approaching, the sight of one of their most influential players limping off will not sit easily in the French capital.

Luis Enrique cut a measured figure afterwards. Asked about Hakimi’s condition, the PSG coach kept his cards close, offering only a sliver of clarity and no guarantees.

“Hakimi? I hope the injury is not serious, it is difficult to determine that. He will undergo a medical examination tomorrow,” he said, as reported by Foot Mercato.

No timelines. No early optimism. Just a wait.

The club’s medical staff will now run full tests on the defender’s right adductor to determine the extent of the damage and how long he might be out. Until those results land, PSG are left in limbo, hoping their first injury blow of the season does not turn into something far more disruptive.
