Morocco Faces Injury Concerns Ahead of World Cup Opener Against Brazil
- Morocco faces injury concerns for starters Abdessamad Ezzalzouli and Noussair Mazraoui after Sunday's friendly against Norway; both players could be forced out of their World Cup opener against Brazil.
- The 1-1 draw with Norway in Harrison, New Jersey, served as Morocco's final warm-up match before the 2026 World Cup kicks off this week in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
- Ezzalzouli exited at halftime with a leg injury, while Mazraoui departed in the 29th minute with a shoulder issue as Coach Mohamed Ouahbi made 10 squad changes throughout the match.
- "We left a good impression despite not winning," Ouahbi told reporters, though the coach expressed worry regarding the severity of the injuries sustained during the encounter.
- Group D competition begins with a high-stakes clash against Brazil at the New York New Jersey Stadium, as Morocco aims for another impressive run after their surprise semifinal finish at the previous World Cup.
