Morocco’s new coach Mohamed Ouahbi has selected Nayef Aguerd in his 26-player World Cup squad despite the defender having not played since early March but left out forward Youssef En-Nesyri ahead of the finals in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Marseille defender Aguerd has missed close to three months with injury and is still not fully recovered, but is in the group and will be given the chance to prove his fitness.
En-Nesyri was a central figure in Morocco reaching the last four in 2022, and was part of their squad at the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil that finished in January.
Morocco opens its World Cup Group C campaign against Brazil in New Jersey on June 13, followed by a clash with Scotland six days later in Boston, and then a final pool fixture against Haiti in Miami on June 24.
