Is Ismael Saibari Fit to Play Against France in Morocco's World Cup Quarterfinal?

Morocco are still waiting to discover whether Ismael Saibari will be available for their crucial FIFA World Cup quarterfinal clash against France.

The Bayern Munich midfielder has reportedly missed the Atlas Lions' latest training sessions after suffering a muscular injury during Morocco's convincing 3-0 victory over Canada in the Round of 16. Saibari was forced off in the first half after appearing to pull up with discomfort.

Reports suggest the injury is not considered serious, offering hope that the midfielder could still feature against France. However, no final decision has been made regarding his availability.

Morocco's medical team is expected to assess Saibari once again before the squad's final training session ahead of the quarterfinal. His response to treatment will determine whether he is fit enough to be included in the matchday squad.
