Suspended for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, Achraf Hakimi will indeed be present for PSG’s trip to FC Barcelona’s turf. Luis Enrique has called up his number 2 for Tuesday night’s clash. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Xavi commented on Achraf Hakimi’s return.
On Wednesday, PSG had to do without Achraf Hakimi in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. Suspended, the Moroccan right-back missed the initial duel against FC Barcelona. But fortunately for PSG, Achraf Hakimi will be able to fulfill his place in Catalonia.
Hakimi is back with PSG
Having served his suspension, Achraf Hakimi is included in PSG’s squad for the trip to Barcelona. Luis Enrique’s number 2 should therefore regain his starting position on Wednesday night.
“Luis Enrique and PSG have so many options”
Speaking at a press conference on Monday afternoon, Xavi commented on Achraf Hakimi’s return with PSG. “Luis Enrique and PSG have so many options that we don’t know which alternatives they will use, as in the first leg. We need to be clear about our structure so that, whatever happens, we can react. Our players were brilliant last week, hopefully it will be the same tomorrow (Tuesday),” said the FC Barcelona coach.
