PARIS:
Paris Saint-Germain wing-back
Achraf Hakimi has tested positive for coronavirus and been put into isolation, a source close to the club told AFP on Saturday.
Morroco’s Hakimi, 22, made his Parisian debut in Wednesday’s friendly win over third-tier Le Mans after joining from
Inter Milan for 60 million euros ($71 million) last week.
He missed Saturday’s pre-season draw with third-division Chambly and is set to be sidelined for next week’s games with Augbsurg and Genoa.
PSG were hit hard by
Covid-19 at the start of last season when several players tested positive and Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria and
Leandro Paredes had to self-isolate after a holiday to Ibiza following the team’s
Champions League final loss to
Bayern Munich.
