Doubts About Achraf Hakimi's Participation as a Starter in the Champions League Final

Sunday 24-05-2026
French press reports have revealed significant developments regarding the position of Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi on participating with Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal, amid considerable doubts surrounding his ability to appear as a starter in the anticipated match.

According to the French newspaper "L'Équipe," Paris Saint-Germain players played an internal match in front of the ultras fans on Saturday, without Hakimi's participation, indicating that he is still not fully fit.

The newspaper added that the Moroccan star only participated in an individual training session, as he nears a return to group training following the thigh muscle injury he sustained during the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

In light of this situation, "L'Équipe" clarified that the chances of Hakimi starting in the final appear very slim, considering that deploying him from the beginning in a match of this magnitude might be a difficult and premature option at the moment.

The UEFA Champions League final is scheduled to take place on May 30th at 7:00 PM Mecca time, with great anticipation surrounding the status of the Moroccan player until the last moments.
