Next steps and Arab Cup implications
Al Ahly will do scans and detailed tests to assess the severity of the thigh injury. Once done, the results will be sent to the Moroccan Football Federation so the national team’s medical staff can decide on his participation in the Arab Cup. If the injury is serious, he might miss the tournament and that will be a big blow to Morocco’s attack.
Bencharki’s situation is critical as the Arab Cup starts tomorroy and the Moroccan team is preparing. His recovery and final medical report will be the key to decide if he can join the team or needs more rest to avoid aggravating the injury.
