Blow for Morocco, the team's main star is missing against France

Morocco national football team

The Moroccan national football team has found itself in a major problem ahead of today's match against France.

The team's top scorer, Ismael Saibari, despite predictions, has not recovered and will not be ready for the World Cup quarterfinal match, which will be played tonight at 10:00 PM in Boston.

Saibari, Morocco's three-goal scorer at the World Cup, was injured in the round of 16 match against Canada, but the Morocco camp was hopeful that he would recover by today's match.

However, this did not happen and this was briefly confirmed by Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi.

"Saibari will not play today, I hope he will be ready for the next match ," said Ouahbi, hoping for Morocco's qualification to the semi-finals.

If they eliminate France, Morocco would face the winner of the match between Spain and Belgium in the semifinals.
