Morocco: Ismaël Saïbari comes off injured against Canada

Morocco endured a major scare during their World Cup clash against Canada. After a stellar tournament, Ismaël Saïbari was forced to leave the pitch prematurely just 20 minutes into the match due to a hamstring injury. The attacking midfielder was immediately replaced by Soufiane Rahimi, leaving Atlas Lions fans deeply concerned.

No official information has yet been released regarding the severity of his injury, but this early exit is a real blow for the Moroccan squad, who remain in contention in the competition.

Despite this setback, Saïbari will remain one of the key architects of Morocco’s historic run. The new Bayern Munich signing made headlines with goals against Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti, before netting the decisive penalty against the Netherlands.

Moroccan fans are now hoping for a swift return of their playmaker.
