Bad news for Atlas Lions supporters! Sofyan Amrabat, new resident of Manchester United, will not play against Liberia tomorrow (6th and final day of the CAN qualifiers), nor against Burkina Faso (friendly) next Tuesday. He has just left the Moroccan group to return to England.
The player who celebrated his 27th birthday on August 21 injured his back. Walid Regragui will therefore not be able to count on him for this gathering, and that’s a shame! Because in addition to his experience in the national team (49 caps since 2017), his ability to annihilate the actions of his opponents with his high-level reading of the game, his combativeness as well as his aggressiveness will inevitably be missed by the Lions. Fortunately, the stakes of these two meetings are minimal, since Walid Regragui’s gang is already assured of participating in the next African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. In any case, we wish him a speedy recovery.

A player from Wydad to replace him!
To replace Amrabat, the Moroccan coach decided to call up Yahya Jabrane (20 caps, 2 goals), announced the FRMF. Member of Wydad Casablanca, the 32-year-old midfielder, who was part of the adventure at the 2022 World Cup, does not really embody the future of the Atlas Lions but he has the advantage of knowing the selection. His summons will obviously please all the supporters of The Red Fortress with whom he won the 2022 CAF Champions League, especially since fewer players from the local championship are selected than expatriates.
