“I have three exceptional full-backs; Salah-Eddine has elevated his game and is an outstanding left-back, while Mazraoui is among the most technically skilled in his position.
“There will be times when we may be without Achraf, Mazraoui, or Salah-Eddine.
“I have no doubts or concerns. In the past, we struggled without Achraf, but now we have several options. One thing is certain: Hakimi will play a role in the tournament.”
Morocco will continue their campaign in the capital, Rabat, facing Mali on December 26 and Zambia on December 29 in their second and third Group A matches.
