In this round of the Champions League, during Bayern Munich’s 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Achraf has sustained a distal tibiofibular syndesmosis tear along with a minor deltoid injury. He will require two weeks of joint immobilization, followed by a further six to eight weeks of rest before making a full recovery.
This is the medical report after Achraf underwent an assessment on Wednesday morning, which confirmed that the ligaments in his left ankle are not torn. In principle, he will not be able to return until 2026; if selected for the Africa Cup of Nations to be held in Morocco, he may only be available for the second round.
As revealed to this newspaper by multiple media outlets, the right-back’s team and the club were optimistic on Tuesday evening. A day later, these positive signs were confirmed.
However, due to the severity of the injury, Achraf will miss PSG’s next two Champions League matches: the home game against Tottenham Hotspur and the away fixture against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés Stadium. Achraf will begin his rehabilitation this week, with the goal of being fit for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
This is the latest blow for Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks. In addition to Achraf’s absence, they are also dealing with a serious injury to Desiré Doué, who will be sidelined until next year at the earliest, as well as a new injury to Ousmane Dembélé.
The Ballon d’Or nominee asked to be substituted in the first half against Bayern Munich, and Luis Enrique confirmed that this injury is different from the right hamstring strain that has plagued him since September.”
