One position is in doubt: Morocco’s expected line-up against Canada

The upcoming Atlas Lions Summit

As the Moroccan national team prepares to face Canada in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Texas, USA on Saturday night, coach Mohamed Wehbi is sticking with the team that guided the Atlas Lions to their most impressive World Cup triumph.

According to the website of Al-Sharq TV channel, there are doubts about the fitness of only one player, defender Shadi Riyad, who suffered a knock on his knee against Holland against Morocco.

In press statements, Webb reassured Shadi Riyad of his health, explaining that his condition would undergo further evaluation, saying: “Overall, all the players are in good shape and any player who comes in will be 100% fit.”

The Moroccan coach is counting on Ibrahim Diaz to penetrate Canada’s defense and make a difference, while the cohesion of defense and midfield remains one of the Lions’ most prominent strengths.

The expected composition of Morocco consists of:

Gatekeeping. Yassin Bono

Protection. Ashraf Hakim, Shadi Riad (Raduan Halhal), Issa Diop and Nasir Mazrau

Average: Nael El Ainaoui, Ayoub Bouad, Ezzedine Ounahi

Attack. Bilal Al-Khanous, Ibrahim Diaz, Ismail Sibari
