Morocco Hit by Double Injury Setback Before 2026 World Cup Opener vs Brazil

Morocco have been dealt a blow ahead of their Group D opener against Brazil after Abdessamad Ezzalzouli and Noussair Mazraoui both limped out of Sunday’s 1-1 friendly draw with Norway. Ezzalzouli was substituted at half-time with a leg complaint, while Mazraoui lasted just 29 minutes before leaving the field nursing a shoulder injury. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi was pleased with his side’s performance but admitted he is ‘more concerned’ about the fitness of his key duo as the team prepares for Sunday’s clash at MetLife Stadium. Surprise semi-finalists at the last World Cup, Morocco will hope to overcome these setbacks and build on their strong showing when the tournament kicks off across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
