Othmane Maamma likely to miss Morocco’s March friendlies due to injury

Moroccan under-20 star Othmane Maamma faces a setback that could prevent him from joining the national team for the upcoming March gatherings ahead of matches against Ecuador and Paraguay in Spain and France.

Watford FC, Maamma’s club, confirmed that the talented midfielder will be sidelined for several weeks due to a serious injury, though no exact return date has been provided.

Maamma has quickly established himself as one of Morocco’s brightest young talents.

He played a key role in Morocco’s triumph at the Under-20 World Cup in Chile and received the Best Player in the World award for under-20 players, in addition to being named the Best Young Player in Africa.

The injury casts uncertainty over his availability for the national team’s international fixtures, leaving fans and coaching staff hoping for a swift recovery for one of Morocco’s rising stars.
