While today's session is a positive step for the Atlas Lions' medical team, there's still a need for caution ahead of the first AFCON game against Comoros on Sunday.
Early internal evaluations suggest that Hakimi is likely to miss this first match to prevent any chance of his injury coming back.
The coach and his team will make a final decision in the coming hours, based on how Hakimi feels and the results of further tests.
Morocco is getting ready for the start of the AFCON.
Meanwhile, Regragui's squad is working on the final preparations.
