Morocco worried as Ilias Akhomach leaves in tears after injury scare

Concern is growing in Morocco after Ilias Akhomach suffered an injury setback ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

The Rayo Vallecano winger reportedly picked up the injury during the warm-up before his side’s Europa League semi-final second leg clash against RC Strasbourg.

According to reports in Spain, Akhomach was seen leaving for the dressing room in tears after feeling discomfort in his left adductor muscle, forcing him to miss the crucial European encounter.

The incident immediately raised concerns among Moroccan supporters and the national team technical staff given the timing of the injury ahead of the World Cup.

Despite the setback, Rayo Vallecano managed to secure qualification to the Europa League final after defeating Strasbourg 1-0 in both legs of the semi-final tie.

Akhomach’s condition is now expected to be closely monitored by the Moroccan national team medical staff as preparations continue for the global tournament.

Coach Mohamed Wahbi is preparing to announce Morocco’s squad for the World Cup in the coming days, with uncertainty now surrounding the winger’s fitness.

The Morocco national football team have been drawn in Group C of the tournament alongside Brazil national football team, Haiti national football team and Scotland national football team.
