Hakimi recovers from injury for Africa Cup of Nations start

Morocco's national team can breathe a sigh of relief as their captain, Paris Saint-Germain defender Ashraf Hakimi, has recovered from an ankle injury to his left foot. He sustained the injury during the match against Bayern Munich (1-2) in Paris on November 4th in the UEFA Champions League. The 'Atlas Lions' are aiming to bare their teeth at the start of their campaign to win the title and nothing else when they face the Comoros Islands team on Sunday in the opening match of the 35th Africa Cup of Nations. Hakimi, on whom many hopes are pinned for his potential participation in his fourth finals to end his country's 30-year jinx, brought happy news to the fans by attending training alongside his coach.
