Marseille Confirms Nayef Aguerd's Surgical Procedure
Olympique de Marseille has officially announced that Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd will undergo surgery on Thursday, March 12, 2026, to address a persistent sports hernia injury affecting his thigh. The French club released a statement indicating that the 29-year-old defender has been experiencing continuous pain and increasing discomfort during recent matches, which ultimately hindered his ability to maintain his performance.
The club's medical staff initially attempted to manage the injury through conservative treatments aimed at alleviating pain and avoiding surgery; however, the worsening condition necessitated surgical intervention as the most effective solution to eliminate the problem entirely. Following the procedure, Aguerd will enter a tailored rehabilitation program under the guidance of Marseille's medical team to regain his physical readiness and return to the pitch as soon as possible.
In concluding their statement, the club emphasized Aguerd's determination to recover swiftly, expressing full support for the player during his treatment process. Alongside his commitments to the southern French club, Aguerd has set a significant goal of participating with the Moroccan national team in the upcoming 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. He aims to regain his full fitness promptly, ensuring he is ready to lead the "Atlas Lions" defense under the new head coach, Mohamed Wahbi.
