Heartbreak for Ismael Saibari as Morocco Star Suffers Injury Against Canada

Morocco have been dealt a major setback after midfielder Ismael Saibari was forced off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury during the country's 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash against Canada.

The newly signed Bayern Munich star looked in discomfort before being substituted, raising concerns over the severity of the injury as Morocco continues its bid for a place in the quarterfinals.

Saibari has been one of Morocco's standout performers at this year's expanded 48-team FIFA World Cup, scoring three goals and playing a key role in the Atlas Lions' impressive run to the knockout stages.

At the time of writing, the match remains goalless, with both Morocco and co-hosts Canada battling for a coveted place in the quarterfinals.
