Morocco’s Rahimi Doubtful for Crucial Iraq Match After Injury

Will Soufiane Rahimi be lined up for the Lionceaux de l’Atlas’ third match? Substituted due to injury during the match against Ukraine, which ended in a defeat for Tarik Sektioui’s team, the striker from the Emirati club Al Ain was replaced in the second half by his teammate Mehdi Mouhoub. After the final whistle, he left the Geoffroy Guichard stadium limping and with a bandage on his foot. "Hopefully it’s nothing serious," the player responded to a supporter who asked him about his injury. On Sunday, Rahimi underwent preliminary medical examinations after the match, reports Hesport.

For now, the coach of the Moroccan Olympic team has not yet communicated on the exact nature of his injury. The author of a brace in the match against Argentina, Rahimi scored the only goal for the Lionceaux de l’Atlas against Ukraine.

After the match between Morocco and Ukraine, the four teams in Group B are tied: each team has three points. A draw against Iraq on Tuesday will be enough for the Lionceaux de l’Atlas to qualify for the quarter-finals.
