Injury Woes for Morocco Ahead of World Cup
The Betis player, Abde, experienced a concerning injury to his right knee during a friendly match against Norway, leading to his substitution at halftime. The preparation matches for the World Cup continue to be fraught with anxiety for teams, as Brazil also faced a setback with Wesley sidelined due to a muscle issue just a day prior.
Abde, who had provided the assist for Brahim's goal, suffered the injury after colliding with his teammate Chadi Riad towards the end of the first half. Although he managed to endure until the halftime break, he was seen limping off the field, assisted by members of the Moroccan delegation. The pain was evident on Abde's face as he made his way to the locker room, and moments before the referee blew the whistle for halftime, he was seen lying on the grass with his face covered.
In light of this incident, Abde was replaced by Rahimi at the beginning of the second half. Morocco is set to debut in the World Cup on Saturday, the 13th, against Brazil, with Scotland and Haiti also making up the group.
