The Moroccan right-back, who sustained a thigh injury in the semi-finals, has progressed faster than expected and is set to rejoin collective training this week, putting him firmly in contention for the May 30 showdown.\n\nHakimi suffered the injury in the closing stages of the first leg against Bayern Munich on April 28, a thrilling 5-4 victory that ultimately propelled PSG to the final. He pulled up clutching his thigh after an explosive run, immediately sparking fears of a prolonged absence. Initial scans revealed a muscle strain that typically requires four to six weeks of recovery, casting doubt over his availability for the season's biggest match.\n\nInstead, the 27-year-old's rehabilitation has been remarkably swift. Club medical staff designed a tailored program that allowed him to shed crutches within days and begin light workouts. By the second week, he was already doing ball work, and the latest assessments convinced the coaching staff that he could participate in full training sessions without heightened risk of relapse. The three-week timeline means he will have just enough preparation to reclaim his spot.\n\nThe defender's importance to Luis Enrique's system cannot be overstated. Hakimi is not just a defensive stalwart but also a vital attacking outlet, contributing seven assists and three goals in this season’s European campaign. His speed on the overlap and ability to stretch defenses offer a dimension that PSG sorely missed in his absence. Against Arsenal's potent left flank, his recovery could prove decisive.\n\nThis is not the first time Hakimi has raced against the clock. In November, he suffered a severe ankle sprain in a Champions League group match—again against Bayern—that threatened his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, staged on home soil in Morocco. Opting against surgery, he completed an intense rehab, returning for the third group game against Zambia on December 29. That experience, which forced him to slowly regain top form, has steeled his mindset for the current challenge.\n\nTeammates have noted his unwavering focus. 'He knows his body now and doesn't panic,' a club insider said, reflecting the calm that has surrounded his recovery. Indeed, when Hakimi appeared at Stade Jean-Bouin on Sunday during PSG’s Ligue 1 fixture, he was all smiles, walking freely without any hint of a limp—an image that reassured supporters and staff alike.\n\nThe timing of his return also eases pressure on Ousmane Dembélé, who is nursing a right calf issue. Dembélé’s status remains uncertain, but having Hakimi back ensures PSG won’t be without two of their most electric players. Coach Enrique can now field a balanced XI, with Hakimi’s attacking surges complementing the creativity of Dembélé or his replacement.\n\nFor Arsenal, the development is a blow. Mikel Arteta’s side prepared for a PSG without its starting right-back, possibly exploiting that flank. Now they must adjust to facing a full-strength Parisian backline. Hakimi’s presence also allows PSG to switch seamlessly between a back four and a three-man defense, a tactical flexibility that troubled opponents all season.\n\nThe final itself carries historic weight. PSG aim to become only the third club since the Champions League's reform to win back-to-back titles, while Arsenal seek their first European crown. Hakimi, a World Cup semi-finalist and AFCON winner, knows the magnitude of the occasion and has made clear he will not be a mere observer.\n\nWith training now on the horizon, the focus shifts to his reintegration. Medical staff will monitor his workload carefully, but the expectation is that unless he suffers a setback, he will line up from the first whistle. His journey from the physio table to the Puskás Aréna turf embodies the resilience that has defined PSG’s season.\n\nIn the end, Hakimi’s rapid recovery underscores a modern athlete's ability to overcome elite-level injuries through advanced sports science and sheer determination. As the French capital buzzes with anticipation, one thing is clear: the Moroccan's name is already penned into Enrique's team sheet, a testament to his warrior spirit and the club's meticulous care.\n\nBased on reporting from L'Equipe.","news","Achraf Hakimi set to start Champions League final vs Arsenal on May 30 after thigh injury recovery; resumed training this week after 3-week absence.","326257536413995008","Paris FC","332267856966193153","326135636794806272","AFC Champions League Elite","327054526882254848","Paris FC vs Paris Saint Germain","2026-05-19T18:43:12Z","why-psg-s-hakimi-will-start-ucl-final-3-week-recovery","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FArticle\u002FBlesse-contre-le-bayern-achraf-hakimi-va-retrouver-l-entrainement-et-sera-dans-le-groupe-du-psg-pour-la-finale-de-la-ligue-des-champions\u002F1677216#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257545968619520","Arsenal",[61,50,45,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74],"326222713142120448","326222767416414208","326255038034874368","326257536296554496","326257561546264576","326257534170042368","326257537865224192","326222712219373568","326257769613103104","326257791687725056","326222707169431552",[62,51,46,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86],"Canada","Lesotho","FSV Mainz 05","Auxerre","Sonderjyske","Bayern München","Estoril","Morocco","Capital","Zambia","Anderlecht","Why PSG's Hakimi Will Start UCL Final: 3-Week Recovery",[89,117,134,149],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":90,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":91,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":92,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":93,"slug":94,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":95,"teamId":96,"teamName":97,"teamIds":98,"teamNames":107,"title":116},"French fans display 'Courage Hugo' banner in support of Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike, who ruptured his Achilles tendon and will miss the World Cup.","338076964512337921","0","2026-06-04T19:50:02Z","hugo-ekitike-injury-courage-hugo-banner-at-france-match","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FLes-supporters-francais-apportent-leur-soutien-a-ekitike-blesse-et-absent-pour-la-coupe-du-monde-courage-hugo\u002F1681882#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257545918287872","Liverpool",[96,99,100,101,102,65,103,104,45,105,106,74],"326222711447621632","326222712533946368","326257535994564608","326222712936599552","326255039846813696","326255041625198592","326257807785463808","326257576805142528",[97,108,109,110,111,77,112,113,46,114,115,86],"France","Ivory Coast","Nantes","Paraguay","FK Partizan","Partizani","Reading","Tune","Hugo Ekitike Injury: 'Courage Hugo' Banner at France Match",{"awayTeamId":61,"awayTeamName":62,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":118,"homeTeamId":45,"homeTeamName":46,"id":119,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":120,"matchName":121,"publishedAt":122,"slug":123,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":124,"teamId":100,"teamName":109,"teamIds":125,"teamNames":129,"title":133},"With Saliba injured, Konaté set to start for France vs Côte d'Ivoire on Thursday.
