AS reports (h/t Paris Fans) that the PSG defender sustained a tear to the femoral syndesmosis, along with minor damage to the deltoid muscle. As a result, he’ll need to keep the joint immobilized for two weeks before facing an additional six to eight weeks on the sidelines to fully recover.

Enrique also spoke about the incident after the match and didn’t blame Diaz for the injury to Hakimi, citing it as a regular part of football and the physicality of the sport.

“We have to wait until tomorrow after the tests to know about the players’ injuries,” Enrique said at his press conference (h/t RMC Sport). “For Ousmane, it has nothing to do with the previous one.

“But he played for the time you saw. Hakimi’s situation is part of football — it’s a contact sport. It’s unfortunate. It’s tough for the players. I remember, for example, Musiala’s injury. Tomorrow will be the day when the doctors provide updates.”
