Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly growing increasingly concerned about the physical toll on Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, with fears mounting that the star fullback is being pushed to the brink of exhaustion.
French outlet RMC reported that Hakimi is set to play in PSG’s highly anticipated FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Bayern Munich.
The report questions the sustainability of such a workload, wondering “How can a human body withstand this level of pressure without breaking down?”
Hakimi’s situation is being held up as a glaring example of the toll elite footballers face under FIFA’s congested international calendar.
The 25-year-old has already featured in 52 games for PSG this season, tallying 11 goals and 12 assists, an impressive return that highlights his status as one of the world’s top right-backs.
PSG’s internal anxiety is mounting, particularly with the Club World Cup entering its decisive stages. Any injury to Hakimi, a crucial pillar of Luis Enrique’s system, could significantly impact the team’s ambitions in the tournament.
