Olympique de Marseille midfielder Bilal Nadir has stopped following the official accounts of the Moroccan national team on social media. A way for him to put pressure on Walid Regragui, coach of the Atlas Lions, who has not yet given him the opportunity to defend the colors of the Moroccan flag?

Walid Regragui, coach of the Atlas Lions, should soon unveil the list of players who will be called up for the last training camp before the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN Morocco 2025). In the meantime, the question arises as to whether Yassine Bounou , goalkeeper of Al-Hilal, could retain his starting position in the selection or whether Munir Mohamedi of Nahdat Berkane would manage to steal the limelight from him.

But how much is it worth on the market?

The Moroccan defender of Real Sociedad, Nayef Aguerd , felt severe pain in his thigh on Sunday, during the match against Leganés (3-0) in La Liga. Due to this injury, the Atlas Lion will likely be absent for Morocco’s decisive matches against Niger and Tanzania, scheduled in March as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

In an interview, Walid Regragui , coach of the Atlas Lions, stated that "the Moroccan team is one of the most difficult to coach".
