Hakimi Injury Casts Shadow on PSG's Champions League Hopes
29 Apr
Summary
- Achraf Hakimi sustained a hamstring injury late in the match.
- Hakimi provided an assist before his premature substitution.
- PSG must play the second leg with a one-goal advantage.
Paris Saint-Germain is grappling with a major injury blow after Achraf Hakimi was substituted during their Champions League semi-final first leg victory over Bayern Munich.
Hakimi's involvement ended prematurely when he pulled up clutching his right hamstring late in the second half. Despite being able to walk off the pitch, he did not return, forcing PSG to play the final stages with ten men.
The Morocco international had previously registered an assist for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's goal. His availability for the second leg at the Allianz Arena next week is now uncertain, adding to PSG's concerns.
Manager Luis Enrique stated he had no immediate information on Hakimi's condition. PSG secured a narrow lead in the tie, but Bayern's four goals in the French capital mean the contest remains wide open.
