Morocco: Hakimi ready to do whatever it takes for AFCON
With just days to go before the kick-off of the AFCON hosted in Morocco, Achraf Hakimi is in a real race against time. Sidelined with an ankle injury for several weeks, the Paris Saint-Germain right-back has chosen a strict recovery protocol to be fit for action from the opening match against Comoros, scheduled for December 21.
With his club’s approval, the Atlas Lions captain traveled to Rabat ahead of the official team assembly to continue his rehabilitation at the national training center. He’s following a similar path to Sofyan Amrabat, who is also struggling with fitness issues and is already working on his recovery on site.

Walid Regragui has kept his faith in these key players, counting on them to play a decisive role in the tournament. However, Hakim Ziyech has not been included in the squad for this AFCON—a bold decision by the coach as the highly anticipated competition approaches.
