Ballon d'Or winner Dembele came off after just 25 minutes before Moroccan star Hakimi had to be helped from the field in tears following a challenge by Luis Diaz that led to a red card for the Bayern Munich forward.
PSG on Wednesday said Dembele had picked up a calf injury and would require a "few weeks" of treatment. The France international was starting for just the second time since suffering a hamstring injury while playing for his country at the start of September.
Hakimi was diagnosed with a severely sprained left ankle and faces several weeks out, the club said. He could also be in a race against time to be fit for hosts Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on December 21.
Nuno Mendes played the full 90 minutes of the 2-1 loss to Bayern but sprained his left knee and will join Dembele and Hakimi on the sidelines.
Their absences add to a growing injury list at PSG that already included Desire Doue, who was stretchered off with a thigh problem in a Ligue 1 game at Lorient last week.
