This Friday, Morocco is playing the first leg of the Cup play-offs against the DRC in Kinshasa. For this meeting, the Atlas Lions will have to do without the young FC Barcelona striker Abde Ez. For his first in the Moroccan group, the 20-year-old is already out of the first game. Abde Ez is still affected in the knee despite his playing time with Barça B and the Moroccan staff has decided not to take any risks for the first leg which will be played on a synthetic field.
“He arrived with tendonitis in his knee. He has special treatment and he trained indoors, because on synthetics it can aggravate the injury. We don’t want to take the risk, because with this lawn, if he trains, it can complicate things. When we are on a normal lawn in Morocco for the return match, he will be a candidate to play like the others.confirmed Vahid Halilhodzic at a press conference.
