Morocco's Zakaria Aboukhlal Faces World Cup Uncertainty After Thigh Injury

A few days before the start of the Football World Cup in Qatar, the list of 23 to 26 Atlas Lions, announced this week, is still uncertain. Zakaria Aboukhlal, another Moroccan international, was injured on Saturday during a match.

Will Zakaria Aboukhlal be present at the World Cup in Qatar? There is uncertainty about the presence of the Moroccan striker in the competition. On Saturday, he was substituted due to injury against Stade de Rennes on the occasion of the 15th round of Ligue 1 (2-1 in favor of Rennes). The Toulouse striker was injured in a thigh, his coach, Philippe Montanier, said, without however providing details on the injury. This injury forced the former AZ Alkmaar player to leave the pitch limping. The 22-year-old player was replaced by his teammate Dejaegere.

The severity of the injury will determine whether or not he will participate in the World Cup, which will take place in Qatar from November 20 to December 18. A blow for the coach of the Moroccan national team who has already recorded the withdrawals of Tarek Tissoudali and Adam Massina due to injury.
