Achraf Hakimi Injury Update
Achraf Hakimi suffered a serious ankle injury during Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on November 4, 2025, at Parc des Princes. The Moroccan international was forced off the pitch in tears just before halftime after a brutal challenge from Bayern's Luis Diaz, who landed awkwardly on Hakimi's left foot, twisting his ankle severely. Diaz was initially cautioned with a yellow card, but VAR intervention upgraded it to a straight red, marking an unwanted piece of Champions League history for the ex-Liverpool winger.
Fabrizio Romano, posting on X via @FabrizioRomano, reported that Achraf Hakimi, after Dembélé, left the pitch due to a serious injury caused by a foul from Luis Diaz, with Hakimi in tears on his 27th birthday.
Hakimi, who turned 27 on the same day, was in visible agony and unable to bear any weight on his left leg. Medical staff rushed to his aid, helping him hobble off the field without even touching his foot down. Post-match, he was seen departing the stadium on crutches, sporting a protective boot on the injured ankle, raising immediate fears of a lengthy absence. Football Pundit, posting on X via @footballpunditX, reported a shock injury for Achraf Hakimi at PSG, stating that Hakimi can't even walk anymore.
PSG captain Marquinhos confirmed initial assessments were conducted, but full details await further scans and tests scheduled for the coming days. The timing couldn't be worse for Hakimi, PSG, and Morocco. With the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicking off in December in his home country, there's growing concern he could miss the tournament entirely a massive blow given his pivotal role as national team captain and his earlier vows to deliver glory on home soil.
PSG coach Luis Enrique, while not delving into specifics, expressed frustration over the loss and multiple injury scares, including Ousmane Dembele's hamstring issue in the same game. Bayern players offered no public well-wishes post-match, contrasting Hakimi's own supportive message to Jamal Musiala after a similar freak injury last season.
