Morocco Coach: ‘Achraf Hakimi Needs Another 10 Days of Rest’

The player remains sidelined due to injury, impacting his exclusion from Borussia Gladbach’s Europa League campaign. In a recent update, Morocco’s national coach provided insight into the situation. Walid Regragui discussed Achraf Hakimi’s absence from the Moroccan national team, revealing that the Olympiacos forward continues to feel pain and will require approximately ten days of rest. Specifically, the Moroccan national coach stated, ‘Achraf was injured while playing for Olympiacos, and we waited until yesterday to learn the latest developments regarding his health status. He underwent tests on Wednesday and felt some pain. He needs another ten days of rest, and we won’t have him with us. Naturally, if he hadn’t been injured, he would be with us. He’s a player I rely heavily on because he scores goals. His injury provides an opportunity for young Hamza Ikman.’
