Morocco Coach Dismisses Aguerd injury talk, backs Ait Boudlal ahead of Mali test

RABAT: Morocco coach Walid Regragui has dismissed reports that defender Nayef Aguerd is injured, saying the center back was fit and ready for Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations Group A clash against Mali. “Who told you Aguerd is injured? He’s training as usual and has no problems,” Regragui told reporters. Regragui confirmed captain Romain Saiss will miss the game with a muscle injury sustained against Comoros in their tournament opener, while full back Achraf Hakimi, recently ⁠crowned African Player of the Year, is recovering from an ankle problem sustained with Paris St.
