Morocco’s En-Nesyri to Miss Africa Cup of Nations After Knee Surgery
Wednesday 27 March 2019, by
The Moroccan football team will have to do without its star striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who will undergo surgery in the very near future, which will keep him away from the pitch for several months.
The Moroccan international was injured during the last training session and will therefore have to return to Spain for an operation on his knee, resulting in a stoppage of at least 4 months.
The author of the superb header against Spain was recruited by Leganes after a stint at Malaga and was one of the key players in Hervé Renard’s system, who will now have to find a replacement for him.
To make matters worse, his club is currently in the bottom of the standings and risks relegation to Liga 2, as was the case with Malaga FC, which he had left after its descent into the lower division.
Trained at the Mohammed VI Football Academy, Youssef En-Nesyri scored 10 goals in 20 games with the Spanish club.
