Hakimi exits with injury at Brest, status uncertain for Classique

Achraf Hakimi left the pitch prematurely at Stade Francis-Le Blé on Sunday evening during PSG’s trip to Brest in Ligue 1, suffering a right adductor injury in the 39th minute.

The Moroccan right-back signaled his discomfort to the Paris bench after attempting to continue. Luis Enrique was able to see for himself that his player was holding his right adductor before deciding to replace him with Fabián Ruiz. Hakimi had started the match in a PSG side that had quickly opened the scoring through Ferran Torres, with the capital club still seeking their first league victory of the season.

Fabián Ruiz’s introduction led to a notable tactical repositioning: Warren Zaïre-Emery, initially lined up in midfield, dropped back to cover the right flank, a position he had already occupied several times last season in Hakimi’s absence.

Medical examinations over the coming hours will clarify the nature and severity of the injury. The stakes are high: PSG hosts Olympique de Marseille at the Vélodrome on September 20, the final fixture before the end-of-September international break. An absence of the right-back would deprive Paris of one of its most important players for this Classique.
