Morocco's national team technical staff has confirmed the expected recovery period for winger Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, who sustained an injury during training. The player, known for his pace and dribbling, is a key asset for the Atlas Lions as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to team sources, Ezzalzouli is expected to be sidelined for approximately three to four weeks. This timeline suggests he could return to full training before the tournament begins, provided his rehabilitation progresses without setbacks.
The 24-year-old, who plays for Real Betis in La Liga, has been in good form this season, contributing goals and assists. His absence will be felt, but Morocco's depth in attacking positions offers alternatives for coach Walid Regragui.
Morocco is set to compete in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay. The team's medical staff will monitor Ezzalzouli closely to ensure he is fit for the opening match.
