Hakimi Says He’s Pain-Free as AFCON Bid Advances After Bayern Injury

The PSG full-back for Morocco reports reduced inflammation in a Canal+ feature.

Overview

He sustained a severe left-ankle sprain from Luis Díaz’s tackle in the Nov. 4 PSG–Bayern Champions League match.
He says the inflammation has gone down and he feels no pain, as shown in Canal Football Club’s Sunday broadcast.
He continues daily rehabilitation, working five to six hours, but he still cannot put weight on his left foot and uses a walking boot.
His stated goal is to arrive fit for the Africa Cup of Nations, with Morocco set to open against Comoros on Dec. 21 in Rabat.
Le Parisien notes an initial six-to-eight-week timeline from Nov. 4, which could limit early-tournament minutes if recovery lags.
