What happened: Paris Saint-Germain are optimistic that Achraf Hakimi will be fit for the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30. The Moroccan fullback has been sidelined with a hamstring tear suffered during the semi-final against Bayern Munich but is reportedly on track for a return in Budapest.

Why it matters: As the favorites to defend their title, PSG relies heavily on Hakimi's pace to stretch defensive blocks. His availability is critical against an Arsenal side that has maintained the tournament's best defensive structure, conceding only six goals throughout the 2026 campaign.

What to watch: PSG will manage Hakimi's workload in training to ensure he is ready for the May 30 kickoff in Budapest. Arsenal will continue to evaluate Ødegaard and forward Kai Havertz as both chase full fitness for the final.
