PSG face anxious wait over Achraf Hakimi injury as Luis Enrique reveals latest on new concern

Paris Saint-Germain have been dealt a major injury concern after Achraf Hakimi was forced off during the win against Bayern Munich.

After being substituted at half-time in the Ligue 1 outing away at Angers, Hakimi kept his place in the PSG starting line-up even though Luis Enrique made wholesale changes for the Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday night.

However, the right-back’s involvement came to a premature end shortly before the final whistle blew at the Parc des Princes.

After attempting to close down Konrad Laimer deep in Bayern’s half, Hakimi immediately pulled up clutching his right hamstring before receiving treatment from the PSG medical staff.

While the Morocco international was able to walk off the pitch unaided, he did not return and PSG had to see out the closing stages with ten-men after using up all their substitution windows.

There is yet to be an update on the 27-year-old regarding the severity of the injury, though he is expected to be a doubt for next week’s second leg at the Allianz Arena.

Luis Enrique said: “I don’t know anything about Achraf Hakimi, we will see what state he is in tomorrow. I can’t say anything about that.”

Hakimi claimed the assist for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s second goal of the game which put PSG 4-2 up shortly after half-time as the winger rounded off a flowing move with an emphatic finish.

Ousmane Dembele was also on target twice and Joao Neves scored from a corner, but the semi-final tie is far from over as Bayern only trail by one goal after netting four times in the French capital.

Nuno Mendes also looked to be struggling as he was replaced by Lucas Hernandez late on.
