Achraf Hakimi Injury: Late decision Friday

Hakimi (personal) will be a late decision ahead of Friday's clash against Auxerre, coach Luis Enrique said in the press conference. ""Hakimi in the squad? It depends on the training session and I'd like to talk with him because it's important to know how he feels and his state of mind. [...] We'll see if he'll be in the squad tomorrow, it will depend on my discussion with him."

Hakimi returned from international duty with Morocco after losing in the final against Senegal. The right back will be a late decision for Friday's clash against Auxerre, and his presence in the squad will depend on a personal discussion with the coach after the final training session on Thursday. Warren Zaire-Emery and Illia Zabarnyi will be the likely options to replace him if the coach decides to give him a rest.
