Achraf Hakimi Is Back for Morocco’s Africa Cup of Nations Campaign

Saturday, Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi said he is fit for the Africa Cup of Nations, but coach Walid Regragui said he may not start Sunday’s opener.
The injury, sustained in a Champions League game on November 4, came from a tackle by Luis Díaz, causing a severe left-ankle sprain that kept Achraf Hakimi out before his Morocco squad selection.
Walid Regragui, Morocco coach, hailed Hakimi’s sacrifices and the medical programme, saying the protocol was "more than positive".
The coach’s choice about Hakimi will determine Sunday’s lineup against Comoros at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, as Walid Regragui will decide tomorrow whether to start or protect him.
Amid heavy national expectations, Morocco national team faces intense pressure to win as host, with a portrait of King Mohammed VI flanking Saturday’s press conference and Fouzi Lekjaa overseeing the drive.
