The news is generally reassuring from the Moroccan base camp at New Jersey. While the infirmary Lions of the Atlas had fueled concerns, several executives found their way back to the lawns. Back to training during Tuesday’s session at “The Pingry School,” Noussair Mazraoui, Chamseddine Talbi And Anass Salah-Eddine showed encouraging signs regarding their physical condition after several days of uncertainty.
Hit in the shoulder during the draw against the Norway (1-1), Noussair Mazraoui has already returned to work. The Manchester United full-back returned to the field less than 48 hours after his injury, confirming the reassuring statements of Mohamed Ouahbiwho had mentioned a simple bruise without seriousness. For their part, Chamseddine Talbi and Anass Salah-Eddine finally returned to collective training. The Sunderland winger makes his return after the injury suffered at the end of the Premier League season, while the PSV Eindhoven player has dispelled doubts that arose after his absence from the scoresheet against Norway.
Ezzalzouli still waiting for the verdict
If several files evolve favorably, that ofAbdessamad Ezzalzouli remains the main cause of concern a few days before the shock of the Seleção. Out injured before the break against Norway, the Real Betis winger suffers from a moderate knee ligament sprain. According to information from “Foot Mercato”, additional examinations confirmed unavailability estimated at between two and four weeks.
A duration which should deprive the player of the group stage of World Cup 2026. Despite this diagnosis, the Moroccan medical staff has not given up on recovering one of its main offensive assets. According to the same source, the Lions of the Atlas would have thus informed the Real Betis of their intention to keep the player within the group with the hope of seeing him return if he qualifies for the round of 16.
Aguerd remains under surveillance
Another file closely followed: that of Nayef Aguerd. Absent during the last collective session open to the media, the central defender continues his recovery protocol after the surgical intervention undergone in the spring. The technical staff, however, continues to display a certain optimism regarding the player of Marseille Olympic. Ouahbi had also recently assured that the defender was progressing within the planned time frame of his rehabilitation program.
As the first world meeting against the Brazilscheduled for June 13 at MetLife Stadiumthe next few hours should allow us to see more clearly the physical state of the last players still in the recovery phase. If the returns of Mazraoui, Talbi and Salah-Eddine constitute a real breath of fresh air for the Atlas Lions, the uncertainty surrounding Ezzalzouli and Aguerd continues to fuel the debates as the major global meeting approaches.
