Hamza Igaman's Return Sparks Morocco's AFCON Knockout Push Against Tanzania
Hamza Igaman returns to bolster Morocco's attack ahead of the Tanzania clash.

The player sustained an injury at Lille.

Head coach Walid Regragui received a timely boost days before the Africa Cup of Nations last-16 clash with Tanzania on Sunday.

According to Moroccan reports, Moroccan international Hamza Igaman has fully recovered from the Lille injury that kept him out of the AFCON group stage.

Igaman is now ready for Tanzania, having pushed hard in recent training to regain full physical and mental sharpness.

According to the Moroccan site Infosport, Regragui is hopeful about a substitute appearance against Tanzania, widening Morocco's attacking options behind Ibrahim Diaz and Ayoub El-Kabi.

Punchline: If goals were jokes, Morocco would win.

Punchline 2: Laughter is our best defense tonight.
