The Morocco national team faced a major setback during their World Cup Round of 16 clash against Canada. One of the squad’s key players, Ismael Saibari, suffered an injury and was forced to leave the pitch prematurely.
The forward picked up the injury during the match and, despite receiving medical attention, was unable to continue. Morocco’s coaching staff had no choice but to make an early substitution, and the severity of Saibari’s injury remains unknown for now.
Losing Saibari could prove to be a significant blow for Morocco, given his crucial role throughout this World Cup campaign. Before the clash with Canada, the Bayern Munich newcomer was one of the team's standout performers, having scored three goals in four matches.
