What happened: Paris Saint-Germain is increasingly confident that Achraf Hakimi will be available for the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30. The Moroccan international has been sidelined with a right thigh injury sustained during the semifinal first leg against Bayern Munich on April 28.

Why it matters: Hakimi's presence is vital for PSG's defensive stability and transition play as they look to defend their European crown. His return allows manager Luis Enrique to field his strongest XI against an Arsenal side that reached the final by defeating Atletico Madrid.

By the numbers: Final Date: May 30, 2026. Venue: Puskás Aréna, Budapest. Injury: Hamstring strain. PSG UCL path: 6-5 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich in semifinals.

What to watch: Hakimi is expected to sit out remaining Ligue 1 fixtures to focus on rehabilitation. Monitor PSG training reports next week for confirmation of his return to full squad sessions.
