Moroccan Star Ziyech Resumes Training After AFCON Injury

Hakim Ziyech continues his rehabilitation program within his club Galatasaray. On Monday, he resumed individual training in the Galatasaray gym under the supervision of the Turkish club’s physical trainer. However, it will still take him some time to return to group training. Good news for Galatasaray and Walid Regragui. The coach of the Moroccan national team could call him up for the next matches of the Atlas Lions.

Substituted due to injury during the match between Morocco and Zambia (1-0), the 30-year-old player was absent for the round of 16 match of the CAN Côte d’Ivoire 2023 between the Atlas Lions and the Bafana Bafana, which ended in a victory for South Africa (0-2). "The examinations carried out on Sunday, February 4, diagnosed a sprain of the ankle (advanced sprain and rotation), consequently tension and deformation of the internal collateral ligament, the external collateral ligament and the ankle syndesmosis, and bone edema of the bones forming the ankle were detected," Galatasaray had said in a statement.
