Morocco’s national team has been dealt a major blow at the Africa Cup of Nations after one of its key players suffered a serious injury that is set to end his tournament.
The player picked up the injury during the recent match and will not be able to continue with the squad for the remainder of the competition, putting pressure on coach Walid Regragui ahead of the next fixtures.
Assessments confirmed the problem is significant, meaning the player’s AFCON campaign is over and Morocco will have to adjust its plans at a crucial stage of the tournament.
The setback comes at a difficult time for the Atlas Lions as they prepare for their upcoming game against Tanzania, with the coaching staff now forced to look at alternatives in the same position.
Morocco are expected to make the necessary changes in training and selection as they aim to stay on track in the competition despite the injury.
