Ligue 1 Team News: Hakimi and Gouiri Return, but Troyes Lose Ouzenadji for a Month
Achraf Hakimi is back in PSG's squad against Le Mans and Amine Gouiri returns for Marseille at Troyes — where the hosts have lost Anis Ouzenadji to an ankle injury for at least four weeks.

Ligue 1's first weekend back after the extended international break brings welcome names back to three squad lists — and one painful subtraction. Achraf Hakimi has been included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the meeting with Le Mans after recovering from the thigh injury that disrupted his recent weeks, handing Luis Enrique a first-choice right flank again before the Champions League trip to Manchester City.
The Moroccan's return had been trending this way since he resumed full training, and PSG have managed the final stage carefully. Hakimi's importance to Enrique's system is hard to overstate: his overlapping runs provide the width that frees the inside forwards, and PSG's only league defeat of the early autumn came in the stretch he missed. With Le Mans at home before Wednesday's date at the Etihad, his availability lets Enrique rotate without losing attacking shape.

Amine Gouiri is also back. The Marseille forward is in the squad for the trip to Troyes after overcoming the thigh injury he carried home from Algeria duty, having resumed full team training on Thursday. Gouiri has four goals and an assist in five Ligue 1 appearances this season, and his return gives the visitors a settled spearhead for a fixture they will expect to win — a contrast to the weeks in which the injury limited him to individual work.
Troyes' blow
The hosts' news is worse. Anis Ouzenadji will be sidelined for at least four weeks after suffering a severe left ankle sprain and a knee injury on international duty with Algeria's U23 squad — the first appearance of his young international career. The left-back had been a genuine outlet for Troyes, recording an assist, four chances created and five crosses in the 6-2 defeat to Strasbourg, and his absence strips a stretched defensive unit of its most creative flank.
The next month will test Troyes' depth on both sides of the ball, while PSG and Marseille simply welcome back the players their systems are built around. On a weekend where the table's top clubs were scanning squad lists for good news, Troyes got the kind that reshapes a month.
