Morocco: Abde Ez speaks out after his injury

The most in-form attacker for Betis this season, Abde Ez had high hopes of shining at the 2026 World Cup with Morocco. But ultimately, he has been ruled out.

Having become a key piece in Mohamed Ouahbi's system, Abde Ez will not be at the 2026 World Cup. Against Norway, he was forced off due to injury, and the diagnosis has now been confirmed. The player is suffering from a knee sprain and will miss the tournament. He has been replaced by Amine Sbai.

On his Instagram account, Abde Ez broke his silence. "First, I want to sincerely thank everyone who has sent me messages of support and affection over the past few days. Missing such an important tournament is a huge blow, and I won't pretend it doesn't hurt. But in tough moments, faith, patience, and gratitude become even more valuable. Alhamdoulillah for everything. Those who know me know that I won't give up. I'll work every day, with even more determination and enthusiasm than ever, to come back better and stronger. I also wish our national team all the success in the world. I'm convinced they will do everything they can to represent our country with pride. I urge all Moroccans to stay united behind them and support them every step of the way. Thank you for always being there. Alhamdoulillah and long live Morocco." he wrote.
