The risk of missing the African final is hanging over a Morocco trio, with suspensions now a real concern as the decisive stage of the competition approaches.
The trio are walking a disciplinary tightrope, knowing that any further booking could rule them out of a potential final, a scenario their teams can hardly afford at this point of the tournament.
With the margins so fine in the closing rounds, every challenge and every reaction will be measured, as the players try to keep their focus on the football while avoiding the yellow card that could cost them the biggest match of the campaign.
The situation adds extra pressure ahead of the upcoming fixtures, especially with the final now within reach and any absence likely to have a direct impact on the balance of the teams involved.
