Wydad turn to goalkeeper Rachid Ghanimi ahead of Amal Tiznit clash

Wydad Athletic Club are expected to hand goalkeeper Rachid Ghanimi his first official appearance for the club when they host Amal Tiznit in the fourth round of the Moroccan professional league on Sunday.

The match, scheduled for 20:00 at the Mohammed V Complex, comes as Wydad first-choice goalkeeper Mehdi Benabid serves a two-match suspension.

Ghoneimy is expected to step in following Benabid’s suspension, giving the summer signing an opportunity to make his competitive debut in the red shirt.

Ghoneimy gets opportunity after injury setback

Ghoneimy missed Wydad’s opening match after suffering an injury during the team’s pre-season training camp in Agadir.

The goalkeeper joined Wydad during the summer transfer window from Al-Fateh Athletic Club and is now in line to feature as the team prepares for Sunday’s encounter.

His expected involvement comes at a crucial time for Wydad, who must adjust their goalkeeping options while Benabid serves his suspension.
