Royal Moroccan Football Federation President Fouzi Lekjaa said Friday that Morocco international Achraf Hakimi has fully recovered from injury and will be available to play for the national team at the Africa Cup of Nations, set to be held in Morocco.
Speaking during an appearance alongside Hakimi on the Youth Pass program on media platforms, Lekjaa sought to reassure Moroccan fans about the player’s fitness.
“Thank God, Achraf is safe and his leg has recovered, so he can begin his Africa Cup of Nations matches,” Lekjaa said.
He acknowledged that supporters had been concerned about Hakimi’s condition following his injury, adding that his recovery process had gone as planned. Lekjaa also noted that part of Hakimi’s rehabilitation took place at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé, describing it as one of the factors behind the continued development of Moroccan football.
Hakimi suffered a serious injury in early November after a heavy challenge from Liverpool winger Luis Díaz during a UEFA Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. The injury sidelined him for several key fixtures with the French club and required an extended recovery period.
Morocco will host the Africa Cup of Nations later this year, with Hakimi expected to be a key figure in the national team’s campaign.
