hakimi will not be in Paris Saint-Germain’s 23-player squad for Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich. Luis Enrique named the group for the 21:00 kickoff without the defender, who has a right thigh problem.
PSG Travel Without Hakimi
PSG still carry a 5-4 lead from the first leg, but the squad sheet for the return match has a clear hole. Hakimi was left out because of the thigh issue, and the trip also includes four goalkeepers.
The coach kept Matveï Safonov and Renato Marin in the group, then added the academy pair Arthur Vignaud, 18 years old, and Bilal Laurendon, 20 years old. That gives PSG two youth goalkeepers in a travel party built for a semifinal at Bayern.
Luis Enrique’s Squad Changes
Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Safonov are back after resting in the 2-2 draw against Lorient on Saturday. Their return restores options for a match that PSG entered with a one-goal cushion after the first leg.
According to L'Équipe, Lucas Chevalier also has a right thigh injury and Quentin Ndjantou is out with a hamstring problem. Those absences, along with Hakimi’s, narrow the rotation around a game that starts at 21:00 and leaves PSG managing its lineup without one of its regular defenders.
Bayern Return Test
With the aggregate score sitting at 5-4, PSG’s margin is thin enough to make every selection matter. The squad Luis Enrique named has enough depth to travel, but the missing defender changes how the side approaches a second leg in Munich.
