Achraf Hakimi ruled out of Champions League semifinal second leg

Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi has been ruled out of the UEFA Champions League semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich. The Moroccan right-back suffered a hamstring injury in the 88th minute of the first leg held on Tuesday, April 28, at the Parc des Princes. Despite the injury, Hakimi was forced to remain on the pitch until the final whistle as the team had no remaining substitutions. While captain Marquinhos initially suggested the player was only suffering from cramps, medical examinations conducted on Wednesday, April 29, confirmed a hamstring tear. PSG officially announced that Hakimi will undergo treatment and remain sidelined for the coming weeks. Coach Luis Enrique did not provide an immediate prognosis following the match, but the club's medical update has now clarified his unavailability for the game scheduled for May 6 in Munich. Reports indicate that Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to replace him in the lineup, with Fabian Ruiz likely covering the midfield role.
