Nayef Aguerd Joins Morocco Despite Injury

Having suffered a groin injury during Olympique de Marseille's match against Brest, Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd has joined the national team despite his physical condition.

After being affected by pubalgia, Nayef Aguerd decided to join the Atlas Lions' training camp to have his injury assessed.

According to RMC Sport, the 29-year-old Moroccan international will extend his stay in Morocco to receive appropriate medical treatment. However, he will not participate in the friendly matches against Mozambique on November 14 and Uganda on November 18.

His participation in OM's upcoming away match against Nice, scheduled for November 21, is highly unlikely, as doctors have recommended approximately two weeks of rest.

Therefore, given the importance of the Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco must be cautious with this key defender.
