Morocco Suffers Blow as Key Player Sabiri Injures Hamstring in World Cup Round of 16
In the 2026 World Cup round of 16 match between Morocco and Canada, Morocco faced an early setback when star player Ismail Sabiri was injured. Sabiri, who had already scored three goals in the tournament, went down without contact in the 20th minute holding his hamstring. Two minutes later, he was substituted by Soufiane Rahimi, forcing Morocco to continue without their top scorer. Sabiri is scheduled for further medical evaluation in the coming hours to determine the severity of the injury. Both Sabiri and his new club, Bayern Munich, are hopeful that the injury is not serious. The incident marked a challenging start for Morocco in this crucial knockout stage match.
