Hakimi To Miss UCL Semi-Final

April 29, 2026 — Paris —

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have been handed a major blow ahead of their crucial Champions League semi-final second leg.

Achraf Hakimi has been ruled out for several weeks due to a thigh injury sustained during PSG’s thrilling 5-4 victory over Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

Hakimi appeared to struggle with discomfort in his right thigh during the closing stages of the match but stayed on the pitch after PSG had already used all of their substitutions.

PSG confirmed on Wednesday that Hakimi will undergo treatment and is expected to miss several weeks of action.

The injury will keep him out of the decisive second leg against Bayern in Munich on May 6, leaving a significant gap in PSG’s defensive setup.

Hakimi played a key role in the first leg, providing an assist for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and his absence is a major loss, considering his importance on both ends of the pitch.

The 25-year-old had been briefly substituted during PSG’s Ligue 1 win over Angers last weekend but returned to the starting lineup against Bayern.

Hakimi’s injury also raises concerns for Morocco’s upcoming international commitments as major tournaments approach.

Morocco will closely monitor Hakimi’s recovery, given his status as one of their most influential players.

Hakimi has been a consistent performer for PSG, featuring in every major fixture of their European campaign.

His absence now leaves PSG with a crucial test of their depth at a decisive stage of their season.

I hope this works better now! Let me know if you need more adjustments.
