The Moroccan right-back left the pitch in the 39th minute before subsequent medical examinations revealed a minor muscle strain requiring treatment and ongoing evaluation.

The club stated that Hakimi will undergo a two-day treatment program, with a new medical update to be issued following a reassessment of his condition.

While Paris Saint-Germain did not officially establish a precise recovery timeline, the description of the injury as minor suggests an absence measured in days rather than weeks, with his availability for upcoming fixtures depending on his response to treatment.

Hakimi has featured in all seven official matches played by Paris Saint-Germain this season, starting every fixture without registering a goal or assist to date.

There are currently no indications that he will withdraw from the upcoming Morocco national team training camp, with his prospects of joining the squad remaining favorable unless subsequent medical assessments reveal complications.

Morocco begin their international break schedule against Gabon on September 25 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat as part of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Atlas Lions will then travel to face Lesotho on September 29 in Bloemfontein, alongside ongoing discussions to arrange a third friendly fixture yet to be finalized, while the ultimate decision regarding Hakimi’s availability will be made jointly by Paris Saint-Germain and the national team staff.
