Morocco's national team – sad news.

It has been officially announced that forward Ismaël Saïbari will not be able to participate in today's World Championship quarterfinal match against France.

The 25-year-old football player has not yet recovered from the leg injury sustained in the round of 16 match against Canada.

I. Saïbari fell to the ground in the 21st minute and could not continue the match.

"I hope he will be ready to play in the next matches,” said Morocco's coach Jamal Sellami.

The player is extremely important in the strategist's plans. In five World Championship matches, he scored 3 goals.
