Maghnes Akliouche
PSG
Available against Barcelona
Akliouche is available for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Barcelona after recovering from a left ankle injury sustained during Saturday's Ligue 1 encounter against Strasbourg, according to the club.
Analysis: Akliouche has been cleared for Tuesday's European fixture after overcoming the ankle problem he sustained during Saturday's match against Strasbourg, in which he played the full 90 minutes. The winger initially faced uncertainty over his availability after the injury prompted concerns about potential ligament damage, but he participated fully in Monday's team training session without apparent restrictions. His recovery provides Paris Saint-Germain with an important attacking option ahead of the Champions League encounter against Barcelona. Akliouche has recorded two goals and one assist across nine appearances in all competitions this season, establishing himself as a regular contributor in PSG's attacking rotation. With his fitness concerns seemingly resolved, he should be in contention to retain a decent role Tuesday, likely off the bench, although the final decision will depend on the coaching staff's tactical preferences.
Trains in full Monday
Akliouche was spotted participating fully in Paris Saint-Germain's team training session Monday after suffering a left ankle injury during Saturday's Ligue 1 clash against Strasbourg, suggesting he could be available for Tuesday's Champions League encounter against Barcelona, the club posted.
Analysis: Akliouche appears to have avoided a significant injury after experiencing a left ankle problem during Saturday's match against Strasbourg, in which he played the full 90 minutes. The winger was initially scheduled to undergo medical examinations to determine the severity of the issue, raising concerns about his availability for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Barcelona. However, his participation in Monday's full training session suggests he has recovered sufficiently to remain in contention for selection. Akliouche has recorded two goals and one assist in nine appearances across all competitions this season, establishing himself as a regular option in PSG's attacking rotation. His return to training provides a timely boost ahead of the European fixture, although his involvement will ultimately depend on the coaching staff's final assessment of his fitness.
Suffers left ankle injury
Akliouche has a left ankle injury and will undergo tests in the next few hours, according to Arthur Perrot of RMC Sport.
Analysis: Akliouche suffered the injury in Saturday's match against Strasbourg despite playing the full 90 minutes. The forward's status is worth monitoring since PSG will play FC Barcelona on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League. The winger has two goals and one assist across all competitions this season, but PSG have enough attacking depth to deal with his potential absence in case he needs a spell on the sidelines.
One shot, one goal
Akliouche scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-2 win against Manchester City.
Analysis: Akliouche was handed the start in the highly anticipated match against City, as the forward played 76 minutes on the right flank. He would find the back of the net for his first UCL goal with PSG, scoring in the 63rd minute. This is back-to-back games with a goal for the attacker, now having a goal in UCL and league play this season.
Scores in third league start
Akliouche scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Le Mans.
Analysis: Akliouche scored PSG's third goal in the 68th minute, finishing a move created by Warren Zaire-Emery to register his first goal since joining the club from Monaco. The attacking midfielder played the full 90 minutes and has now recorded one goal, seven chances created, nine tackles and four interceptions across six Ligue 1 appearances, including three starts. Although he has not secured a regular starting role, PSG's frequent rotation due to Champions League commitments should continue to provide him with opportunities. His latest performance could strengthen his case for additional playing time in the coming weeks.
First assist in PSG colors
Akliouche assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava.
Analysis: Akliouche has his first goal contribution in PSG colours after picking out Ferran Torres with a run that took him past several defenders against Slovan. The winger has been given plenty of minutes since signing and has now started five of the six games so far, with PSG choosing to rest some of their bigger names in each of them. A regular starting role looks unlikely, particularly in the biggest matches, but the rotation should keep him involved, although PSG's failure to win any of their first three league games could lead to a sharper focus on domestic duty and fewer changes.
Wins first trophy with PSG
Akliouche played the first half of Wednesday's 2-1 win over Aston Villa, winning his first trophy with PSG in the Super Cup final.
Analysis: Akliouche wrapped up last season with seven goals and 11 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions for Monaco, capping a spell with the club that produced 51 goal involvements over 139 first-team appearances before his summer move to PSG. The winger had only recently stepped into full-team training following a handful of individual sessions, so seeing action this early in a competitive final signals a quick integration after completing his move last week. He should continue to pick up minutes in a rotational role behind PSG's established starters as he gets up to speed with manager Luis Enrique's system heading into the 2026/27 Ligue 1 campaign.
Makes squad for Super Cup final
Akliouche is in PSG's squad for Wednesday's Super Cup final against Aston Villa and will need some time to adapt to what manager Luis Enrique will ask from him, the club posted.
Analysis: Akliouche made his first appearance in group training earlier this week after completing three straight individual sessions, and his continued progress suggests his integration with the squad is going smoothly following his signing last week. His role heading into the new season remains uncertain, though he should see a decent amount of playing time in a rotational role behind PSG's regular starters as he continues acclimating to his new club and manager Luis Enrique's system.
In group training with PSG
Akliouche made his first appearance in group training Monday after completing three straight sessions and is expected back Tuesday morning, Paristeamfr reports. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder appears to be progressing well in his integration with the squad.
Analysis: Akliouche is ramping up his fitness with PSG after signing with the club last week. It's unclear what kind of role he'll play at PSG, but he should see a decent amount of time in a reserve role. Similar to prior seasons, PSG have focused on Champions League for regular starters while giving backups plenty of run in league play. Akliouche may not see as much time to open the campaign, but that'll likely improve after the first few weeks as he acclimates to his new team.
Transfers to PSG
Akliouche has completed a transfer to PSG from Monaco, according to his new club.
Analysis: Akliouche is on his way out of Monaco but will not be leaving France, instead joining Ligue 1 giants PSG. The 24-year-old is coming off a stellar past two seasons with Monaco, as he recorded 15 goal contributions in 32 appearances in the 2024/25 campaign and 12 goal contributions in 31 appearances in the 2025/26 season, showing he is one of the top rising talents in the world in the attacking portion of the midfield. The only concern is where he will fit into the team, as they have more than enough options between the attack and midfield, nearly able to field two world-class XI's. That said, with a solid amount of rotation between league and UCL play, he should still find time, although more rotation could mean a hit to his numbers.
Decent appearance off bench
Akliouche generated one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Monday's 3-0 win over Iraq.
Analysis: Akliouche checked into Monday's 3-0 win over Iraq in the closing minutes, replacing Bradley Barcola alongside Malo Gusto as manager Didier Deschamps rotated his squad with the result already well in hand. He logged seven minutes after France had already punched their ticket to the Round of 32 and made the most of his brief cameo, showcasing his dribbling ability while adding one cross and one tackle. Akliouche and France will now shift their focus to a Group I showdown with Norway on June 26, with first place in the group up for grabs.
Decent day attacking
Akliouche had two shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Lille.
Analysis: Akliouche couldn't earn a goal contribution but was still solid in the final third, providing two shots and three crosses. However, it did end his three-match assist streak, sitting at six goals and six assists in 30 appearances (27 starts) this campaign.
Supplies assist in win
Akliouche assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Metz.
Analysis: Akliouche supplied the first assist in Monaco's comeback effort Saturday as they earned a 2-1 win at Metz. Additionally, the midfielder led the team with 10 crosses (two accurate) throughout his 90 minutes of play. Akliouche has provided one assist in three successive appearances (three starts).
Assists second in 2-2 draw
Akliouche assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Toulouse.
Analysis: Akliouche assisted Lamine Camara as Monaco took a 2-0 lead against Toulouse. They went on to draw 2-2. This brings him to five assists in Ligue 1 this season, having also provided three assists in the Champions League. He has assisted in back-to-back games and has created eight chances across these matches with two coming in this game.
Sets up goal on Sunday
Akliouche assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against AJ Auxerre. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 7th minute.
Analysis: Akliouche set up Ansu Fati's stunning goal in the 56th minute. Akliouche created six chances and contributed defensively with a tackle, a clearance, and an interception. This assist brought his goal contribution total into double figures for the campaign.
