PSG: Achraf Hakimi steps up individual work before OM clash

This update focuses on PSG Achraf Hakimi recovery. Injured in his right thigh during PSG’s win in Brest, Achraf Hakimi has returned to individual training and remains doubtful for Sunday’s game in Marseille.

PSG Achraf Hakimi recovery after a thigh issue

Achraf Hakimi was forced off in the first half of PSG’s 1–0 victory away to Brest. The club has since confirmed that the Moroccan full-back is suffering from a minor lesion in his right thigh.

After several days of treatment at the start of the week, the Morocco international was back on the pitch on Friday. He completed an individual session under the supervision of the medical staff, as part of his staged recovery plan.

This step does not yet mean a full return to competition. The club is taking a cautious approach to avoid any setback, especially with a high-intensity fixture like the classic against Marseille coming up.

Doubt over Hakimi ahead of OM–PSG showdown

For now, PSG has not confirmed whether Hakimi will miss the trip to the Vélodrome. Suspense therefore remains over his participation against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday.

As PSG captain, Hakimi is a key piece in both the defensive and attacking phases of the Parisian system. His potential absence would force the coaching staff to rethink their plans for one of the biggest games of the French season.

The final decision will depend on how his thigh responds over the coming hours. Further physical and medical tests are expected before the staff rules on his ability to play.

A strong symbol for Moroccans living abroad

Beyond the sporting aspect, Achraf Hakimi’s fitness is closely watched by many Moroccans living abroad. Over the past seasons, the defender has become one of the most visible Moroccan footballers in Europe.

His performances with PSG help shape the image of Moroccan football, carried by players evolving in major European leagues. For Moroccans abroad who follow Ligue 1 closely or plan trips to France around big fixtures, the OM–PSG clash is a highlight.

If the Moroccan defender makes it onto the pitch on Sunday, interest in this match will only grow further among Moroccan communities across Europe and North America.

What to watch in the coming days

Upcoming medical updates from the Paris club will be crucial. They will show whether the PSG Achraf Hakimi recovery through individual work leads quickly to a full competitive return.

For fans and football followers who plan their trips or viewing nights around this type of game, several points will be worth monitoring:

• how the pain in Hakimi’s right thigh evolves;
• training reports on Saturday, on the eve of the match;
• the official squad list for the away trip to Marseille;
• any tactical adjustments by PSG if Hakimi is rested.

In the meantime, the Moroccan full-back continues his tailored programme, aiming to come back quickly without putting the rest of his season at risk, whether with his club or the national team.
