PSG: Luis Enrique makes revelations about Achraf Hakimi

Achraf Hakimi will miss Le Classique against Olympique de Marseille. Sent off during the last match against Strasbourg, the PSG full-back is suspended—an absence that comes at a sensitive time for the Moroccan international, who has only recently returned from a long, challenging period.

After an ankle injury that kept him off the pitch and a grueling 2025 AFCON campaign that ended in a lost final, Hakimi seems to be feeling the effects of his relentless efforts. In a press conference, Luis Enrique admitted his player needs a break but made it clear he has full confidence in him.

"The first thing he needs to do is rest. He played a lot at AFCON. He needs to recover, to clear his mind. He'll get some time off, I don't know how many days. He'll be a decisive player for us," declared the Parisian coach.

A clear statement, hinting that PSG is eager to protect one of their key men ahead of the crucial run-in.
