The Moroccan national coach, Walid El-Rakraki, has officially announced the conclusion of Sofiane Boufal’s journey in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) due to an injury.
El-Rakraki stated in a pre-match declaration, “Boufal will be absent for the remainder of AFCON due to the injury, and his condition is complicated.”
He further added, “Ziyech has an ankle injury, and we will see whether he will play or not.
We are monitoring his condition, expediting the recovery process to ensure his readiness.
The decision will be made at the last moment.”
As the Moroccan team progresses in the tournament, the absence of Boufal is a setback, and the uncertainty surrounding Hakim Ziyech’s participation adds an additional layer of concern for the coach and the team.
The medical staff is working diligently to assess and address the injuries, aiming to make crucial decisions in the best interest of the players and the national squad.
