Nayef Aguerd Returns: Morocco’s World Cup Defense Boost

To optimize his chances of recovery before the major world event this summer, he chose to carry out his rehabilitation phase directly on Moroccan soil. A winning strategy, since his call-up to the national team now seems assured, according to reports released Sunday by Foot Mercato.
