Morocco: Wydad Athletic club hit by injury setback ahead of crucial FAR Rabat showdown

Wydad Athletic Club has suffered a significant setback with Nordin Amrabat sustaining an injury during their recent Botola Pro 1 clash against Renaissance Berkane.

Medical examinations carried out on Monday confirmed that the experienced winger suffered a muscle tear in his right thigh. The diagnosis now places his availability for the upcoming Clásico encounter in serious doubt.

Amrabat is set to begin a specialised treatment and rehabilitation programme under the close supervision of Wydad’s medical staff. The club is hopeful that the recovery process will proceed smoothly to facilitate his return to action as soon as possible.

The timing of the injury is particularly concerning, with Wydad preparing to host AS FAR in a high-stakes fixture next Wednesday at the Mohammed V Complex. The match, scheduled for 10 p.m., forms part of the postponed ninth round of the Professional League and is widely regarded as one of the season’s defining clashes.

With the title race intensifying, Amrabat’s absence could prove a major blow as Wydad gear up for a pivotal battle against their Rabat rivals.
