Injury Curse Strikes Morocco Again Ahead of World Cup 2026
28 January 2026
Update on Morocco's Injury Woes
Morocco's national team has another setback as a key winger faces a lengthy layoff ahead of the World Cup 2026.
According to the French outlet Le Petit Lilleois, Osama Sahrawi of Lille will undergo surgery for a chronic groin issue.
He is expected to be out for up to six weeks, adding to a growing list of injuries in the Moroccan squad.
Other injured players on the radar include Azzedine Onahi, Sofyan Amrabat, Hamza Egaman, and Ilyas Ben-Sagir.
Morocco recently lost the Africa Cup of Nations final to Senegal 1-0 on home soil, leaving fans hungry for a strong World Cup campaign.
The team hopes to rebound at the global tournament, following their fourth place finish at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Sniper punchline 1: If injuries were trophies, Morocco would be the repeat winner of the infirmary. Sniper punchline 2: Time to visit the physio, because the gaffer still believes in miracles and tape.
