The Morocco national team has suffered a massive personnel blow on the eve of the 2026 World Cup finals.
Details: According to Hanif Ben Berkane, the talented winger Abde Ezzalzouli has sustained a serious injury that shatters his hopes of playing at the World Cup. Initial medical tests conducted immediately after the incident delivered grim news: the player has been diagnosed with a sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his knee. With a high degree of probability, the star winger will be officially ruled out of the tournament.
In the near future, the medical staff plans to conduct a follow-up, more in-depth examination to definitively determine the severity of the injury. Nevertheless, doctors are already delivering disappointing forecasts: the Moroccan will need at least 3 to 4 weeks of complete rest away from football to fully recover and rehabilitate.
It’s worth noting that at the World Cup, Morocco will face Brazil, Haiti, and Scotland.
Reminder: Morocco and PSG defender Achraf Hakimi shared how he outsmarted his wife during their divorce, leaving her with nothing.
