Achraf Hakimi and Nayef Aguerd have delivered reassuring updates just weeks before the AFCON. The two key figures of the Moroccan national team, currently in recovery, were spotted training together in the gym—a session captured and widely shared by fans on social media.

After suffering a severe ankle sprain, Hakimi is following a strict rehabilitation protocol with PSG's medical staff, while Aguerd, slowed by the onset of pubalgia, continues his personalized program under OM's supervision. Despite these physical setbacks, their joint presence in training speaks volumes about their unwavering determination: both defenders are determined to be fit in time for the Africa Cup of Nations.

This joint effort during recovery sends a powerful message. Morocco, who will rely heavily on the solidity of its defensive core during the tournament, can be optimistic about the return to form of its two leaders.
