Injury and Suspensions Hit Moroccan Squad
The roster of absent players for Morocco's upcoming match against Gabon in the first round of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers continues to grow, with the addition of another significant name. After the initial exclusions of renowned players such as Achraf Hakimi, Ismail Sabari, Abdel Samad Zalzouli, and Shadi Riyad, who are sidelined due to suspensions imposed by CAF following the aftermath of the Africa Cup of Nations final, the team is now set to miss Ayoub El Kaabi. This latest absence results from a double fracture he sustained during a match with Olympiacos in the Greek league on Saturday.
As a result of these developments, Yassir Zoubir has emerged as the prime candidate to fill El Kaabi's spot in the final squad for the upcoming matches against Gabon and Lesotho, scheduled between September and October. The string of absences raises concerns about the team's depth and effectiveness as they prepare to compete in these critical qualifiers.
