Achraf Hakimi News: Could return on bench

Hakimi (discomfort) could return on the bench for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Newcastle, according to Le Parisien.

Hakimi returned from the AFCON with some discomfort and also needed time to process the loss in the final, which led coach Luis Enrique to rest him over the weekend. Hakimi should be back in the match squad for Wednesday's clash against Newcastle in the Champions League, but given the strong performances of Warren Zaire-Emery, the Moroccan could find himself on the bench against the Magpies, as the staff may opt not to take any risks with him.
