Morocco’s Star Defender Hakimi in Doubt for Crucial Canada Clash
Thursday 1 December 2022, by
Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi may not participate in the match pitting Morocco against Canada this Thursday at 4pm. His hasty departure from the training session on Wednesday afternoon is worrying.
A few words exchanged with coach Walid Regragui and Achraf Hakimi leaves the last training session that took place at the Al-Douhail stadium. Is this a tactical choice or is the player not in very good shape? Many wonder if this is related to the injury sustained by the player during the match against Croatia.
The match between Morocco and Canada is crucial for the two countries in the sense that the former is playing its qualification for the round of 16, and the latter will do everything to save honor. Even if Canada is already eliminated from the competition, the players and their supporters think that at least beating their last opponent will be a consolation.
Morocco therefore needs all its players, including Hakimi, who is considered today as one of the best full-backs in the world. His departure from the training session before the tactical setup of the coach is worrying. Many supporters will hold their breath until the publication on Thursday of the list of the eleven who will face Canada.
