Morocco Sweat on Saibari Fitness for France Quarter-Final
Morocco are anxiously waiting to discover whether Ismael Saibari will be available for their World Cup quarter-final showdown with France in Boston.
According to beIN Sports, Morocco are keeping a close eye on the fitness of midfielder Ismael Saibari ahead of Thursday's quarter-final against France in Boston. The Atlas Lions are hopeful he will recover in time, but the situation remains uncertain as the clock ticks down.
Saibari has been a key figure in Morocco's run to the last eight, and his absence would be a significant blow for a side carrying the hopes of an entire continent. France, meanwhile, arrive as heavy favourites and will be well aware that a fully fit Morocco is a far more dangerous prospect.
The match, scheduled for Thursday evening, promises to be one of the standout ties of the tournament regardless of Saibari's availability.
