Raja Casablanca may be without two key players, Adam Ennafati and Bouchaib El Arassi, for their highly anticipated derby against Wydad Casablanca on matchday 26 of the Moroccan top-flight league.
Both players received their third yellow cards during the club’s recent 2-1 victory over CODM Meknes on Monday, putting their participation in doubt.
Caution required ahead of Moghreb Tetouan encounter
While the focus is on the upcoming derby, Raja must first navigate their match against Moghreb Tetouan on Sunday evening.
With Ennafati and El Arassi walking a disciplinary tightrope, any further bookings could rule them out of the crucial derby showdown.
The match will be held at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca as part of matchday 25.
Raja closes the gap in League standings
Following their win over CODM Meknes, Raja Casablanca now sits in seventh place with 36 points.
The victory has allowed them to reduce the gap between themselves and second-placed Wydad and AS FAR to six points, while they are just four points behind FUS Rabat, who currently occupy fourth place.
With momentum on their side, Raja will aim to maintain their push for a higher league finish as they prepare for a decisive period in the season, with the derby against Wydad looming large on the horizon.
