Achraf Hakimi's recovery from injury and readiness for the Africa Cup of Nations
Fawzi Luqja, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, reassured Moroccans on Friday about the recovery of the Moroccan international player Achraf Hakimi, who will participate with the Moroccan national team in the Africa Cup of Nations matches held in the kingdom.
Luqja said during his appearance alongside the Moroccan international as a guest on the "Guest of the Passport" program, broadcast on the "Youth Passport" social media pages: "Thank God for Achraf's safety, the leg has healed, so he can start his matches for the Africa Cup of Nations."
The same sports official added, "The youth were worried about his (Hakimi's) injury, but thank God things have returned to normal," and continued: "Among the things that warm all our hearts is that Achraf underwent an important period of treatment here at the Mohammed VI Football Center"; he also noted that this in itself "constitutes part" of the answer to questions about the reasons behind the development of national football.
Hakimi had suffered a severe injury at the beginning of last November due to a violent tackle by player Luis Díaz during the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich match in the UEFA Champions League, which forced him to undergo a long treatment period and miss several important matches for the French club.
