Decision on Mazraoui and Ez Abde ahead of 2026 World Cup

Noussair Mazraoui has a minor shoulder injury and is expected to resume training soon, making him available for the match against Brazil. In contrast, Ez Abde suffered a medial knee ligament sprain, sidelining him for three to four weeks, which could force him to withdraw. The medical staff awaits 48 hours for further tests before deciding on his replacement. Coach Mohamed Ouahbi has until 24 hours before the first match to replace Ez Abde if he is ruled out.
