Achraf Hakimi has been sensationally ruled out of the Bayern return leg
Paris Saint-Germain are set to be without Achraf Hakimi for the Champions League semi-final second leg after the defender sustained a hamstring injury against Bayern Munich.
Hakimi was forced off late in the first-leg encounter at the Parc des Princes after pulling up while attempting to close down an opponent.
The Morocco international immediately clutched his right hamstring and required treatment before leaving the pitch.
Although he was able to walk off unaided, the nature of the injury raised immediate concerns within the PSG camp.
Initial assessments now suggest the problem is serious enough to rule him out of the return leg at the Allianz Arena next week.
Reports indicate the 27-year-old has suffered a hamstring tear, which would make his participation in the decisive second leg highly unlikely.
PSG are yet to issue a full medical update, but the expectation is that Hakimi will miss the trip to Munich.
Head coach Luis Enrique remained cautious when asked about the situation after the match.
He said the club would need to assess the player further before confirming the extent of the injury.
Hakimi’s absence would represent a significant blow for PSG given his influence at both ends of the pitch.
