Morocco-Mali: The Atlas Lions under high tension before the clash

At the Mohammed VI complex, the atmosphere is one of study and seriousness. The images broadcast by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) show a focused group, attentive to the instructions of Walid Regragui.

The national coach has also increased the pace of the sessions, focusing on the physical and tactical aspects to prepare for this duel scheduled for Friday at 9 pm at the Moulay Abdellah Complex. A good news emerges from these preparations: the active presence of Achraf Hakimi during the collective training sessions, suggesting his participation in the match.

However, the concern crystallizes around Romain Saïss. The captain, who was substituted due to injury during the opening match, remains the big absentee from the training sessions. For now, the FRMF has not communicated any official diagnosis, as the player is awaiting the results of medical examinations to determine the duration of his unavailability.

While his absence for the match against Mali seems probable, rumors announcing the end of the tournament for the defender are premature. Furthermore, the staff specifies that the presence of the reserve player Youssef Belammari in the group is not related to the captain’s situation.
