Toulouse FC’s Zakaria Aboukhlal, the Moroccan international with 21 caps and 3 goals to his name, has initiated his rehabilitation process following a severe knee injury suffered in September. The positive development serves as a glimmer of hope for the 24-year-old right winger, Téfécé supporters, and potentially the Moroccan national team.
The injury occurred during the opening match of the Europa League group stage against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise, sidelining Aboukhlal since that fateful September evening.
However, Toulouse FC recently shared a video on social media, announcing the Rotterdam native’s return to training, albeit without a ball.
The news brought joy to the hearts of fans, and Aboukhlal himself expressed his sentiments on social media on Thursday.
“I’m really happy to be back. I hope to join the team soon to help my teammates. Of course, I’m going to watch tonight’s match against Benfica (Toulouse lost 2-1, editor’s note).
I hope we can win, with a lot of effort. Guys, here we go… The cobra is sending you strength,” he remarked.
With the anticipated transitional phases, there is a possibility that the Atlas Lion could make a return to play before the conclusion of the season.
The Moroccan international’s recovery journey is closely monitored by fans and football enthusiasts, eager to witness his return to the pitch.
Aboukhlal’s potential availability could provide a boost not only to Toulouse FC but also to the Moroccan national team, adding depth and talent to their roster.
As he progresses in his rehabilitation, the football community remains optimistic about Aboukhlal’s comeback and contributions on the field.
