Concerns Over Ismael Saibari One Month Before World Cup
International midfielder Ismael Saibari is following a specific rehabilitation program with PSV Eindhoven. The Dutch club is prioritizing caution after muscle soreness to guarantee his presence at the 2026 World Cup next month.
Sidelined since his absence against FC Zwolle at the end of last month, the 23-year-old player is suffering from mild muscle discomfort. PSV coach Peter Bosz quickly reassured by stating there was "no danger" regarding his participation in the World Cup.

This rest period constitutes a strict precautionary measure. Nevertheless, the Dutch team could choose to do without its midfielder until the end of the Eredivisie season. The objective is to manage the workload of the player who greatly contributed to obtaining the 27th national title in early April, compiling 15 goals and 5 assists.
This medical strategy aims above all to fine-tune his physical condition and prevent any overload as the international tournament approaches. Moroccan coach Mohamed Ouahbi is counting heavily on this pillar of the Atlas Lions, who notably distinguished himself by scoring a crucial goal against Cameroon during the quarterfinals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
