According to a report released by the official website of Manchester United, Moroccan international Nassir Mazraoui has significantly overcome the injury concerns that had recently arisen, positioning him to potentially participate in Morocco's opening match against Brazil in the 2026 World Cup. The report detailed that Mazraoui, who plays as a defender for Manchester United, sustained an awkward shoulder injury during a friendly match between the Moroccan national team and its Norwegian counterpart, which raised fears of his absence from the global tournament.
Fortunately, it has been noted that Mazraoui has returned to full training after undergoing a special rehabilitation program at the gym as a precautionary measure, and his health condition is reportedly improving remarkably. The medical staff of the Moroccan national team has conducted thorough examinations, expressing hope that he will be ready for the highly anticipated clash against Brazil in the first round of Group C.
The Brazilian squad is also expected to rely on several of its star players, including Casemiro and Matheus Cunha, in what promises to be an exhilarating match eagerly awaited by football fans around the world. However, not all news has been positive for Mazraoui's teammates; Nayef Aguerd and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli have been replaced in the final squad by Marwan Saadane and Amin Al-Sebai. The report confirmed that Aguerd participated in training in the past few days but continues to deal with the aftereffects of a lingering injury, while Ezzalzouli had to leave the friendly match against Norway due to a knee injury, which subsequent examinations revealed to be a ligament sprain.
Concluding the report, it emphasized that retaining Nassir Mazraoui's services provides a significant morale boost for coach Mohamed Wahbi's squad, who aim to advance beyond the group stage in a group that also includes Scotland and Haiti, while continuing the positive results that the "Atlas Lions" have achieved in recent years.
