Moroccan international defender Achraf Hakimi is suffering from a “minor right thigh muscle strain,” which led to his substitution in the first half against Brest on Sunday in Ligue 1, and he will undergo “treatment over the next two days,” according to his club, Paris Saint-Germain, which announced the news yesterday. The Parisian club clarified that “new medical tests will be conducted at the end of this period.” The injury to one of the key pillars of the two-time consecutive UEFA Champions League holders comes as the Ligue 1 “Classico” approaches this Sunday, at the Velodrome Stadium against their southern rivals Marseille. The captain of the “Atlas Lions” was forced to leave the pitch against Brest in the 39th minute after colliding with a defender from the opposing team. After securing their first win of the season against Brest (1-0), the Qatar-owned club moved up to seventh place in the league standings.
