Noussair Mazraoui joined the Moroccan national team camp, despite having missed the last two matches. However, he did not play in the final World Cup qualifying match, where the Atlas Lions achieved a perfect record.
The 27-year-old defender performed admirably in the victory over Chelsea but was unavailable for the matches against Brentford and Sunderland. Manager Ruben Amorim has indicated that he does not expect Mazraoui to return until after the international break.
In other news, Lisandro Martinez is making progress in his recovery following knee surgery. The Argentine defender previously scored in last season’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Amorim is scheduled to hold a press conference on Friday to discuss the upcoming match and likely provide updates on the squad’s condition.
