Ezzalzouli Undergoes Crucial Knee Tests

Morocco winger Abde Ezzalzouli underwent medical tests on his injured right knee on Monday to determine his fitness for the team’s upcoming World Cup opener against Brazil.

The Real Betis forward suffered the injury and required assistance off the field during Sunday’s 1-1 friendly draw against Norway.

A source close to the team stated that everyone is waiting for the test results to reveal the severity of the injury and Ezzalzouli’s recovery timeline.

Team officials must wait 48 hours for full medical details before making a final decision.

The source dismissed early reports that the winger would miss three to four weeks or sit out the entire World Cup as mere speculation.

Morocco face five-time world champions Brazil this Saturday in East Rutherford for their first Group C match, where they will also play Scotland and Haiti.
