The FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2025 final between Paris Saint-Germain, led by coach Luis Enrique, and Flamengo is set to be a high-stakes clash, but one key figure will be missing. Achraf Hakimi, PSGās dynamic right-back, wonāt feature after sustaining an ankle injury during the teamās match against Bayern Munich.
Hakimi suffered the injury following a harsh tackle by Luis Diaz, which resulted in the Colombianās red card. Since then, the Moroccan international has been focused on recovery, ruling him out for this decisive final.
The Moroccan had enjoyed a strong season in the Champions League and Ligue 1, showcasing his ability to influence games at both ends of the pitch. Missing him for an international final is a notable setback for the team, testing PSGās tactical flexibility and squad depth.

PSG boast a roster abundant with talented players, offering options to cover Hakimiās absence. For this vital encounter, coach Luis Enrique will line up with Warren ZaireāEmery, filling the vacant role to preserve balance while compensating for Hakimiās absence.
