In the Quiet Corner of the Bench: Hamza Al-Sakhi's Plea to Wydad Fans

Hamza Al-Sakhi, a Wydad Casablanca player, has issued a pain filled note to express his ongoing struggle within the Moroccan club.

He is not featuring for Wydad this season after being dropped from coach Amin BenhaChem's plans.

Al-Sakhi wrote on Instagram: I no longer participate fully in training or in the training camps.

This situation is incredibly difficult, especially when I stay disciplined and committed at the club.

I want to reassure you that my loyalty and desire to represent Wydad have not changed, and I will keep working hard with optimism about the future.

Football is a human story and sometimes circumstances go beyond the green rectangle; thank you for your support.
