Nayef Aguerd: OM and Morocco in negotiations | OneFootball

Nayef Aguerd

Nayef Aguerd has been unwell since last Saturday. Despite his condition, the player has joined the Moroccan national team. Since then, OM has entered negotiations with Morocco.

Last Saturday, Roberto De Zerbi confirmed bad news regarding Nayef Aguerd. The Moroccan defender was forced off with an injury against Brest due to the onset of pubalgia. The Italian coach called on Morocco, who had summoned him for the November international break, to handle him with care so as not to jeopardize his chances of playing in the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil—a competition that means a great deal to the 29-year-old defender.

According to recent reports from Foot Mercato, Olympique de Marseille is fully aware of how important the tournament is for Nayef Aguerd and will not attempt to hold him back. Currently, Marseille's staff is working closely with the Moroccan medical team to set up a tailored program that will allow him to return as quickly as possible and be 100% fit for the start of the competition.
