Morocco’s En-Nesyri to Miss Africa Cup of Nations After Knee Surgery

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.
