Contrary to expectations, Ibañez and Douglas Santos will be the full-backs.

And the battle between Matheus Cunha and Igor Thiago was won by the Brentford striker.

Morocco 🇲🇦

Mohamed Ouahbi took charge of the Atlas Lions in March after Walid Regragui’s departure, the man responsible for taking Morocco to the semifinals of the last World Cup.

He faces the biggest challenge of his career after already making history by leading Morocco to the Under-20 World Cup title last year.

And he lost two undisputed starters in the final stretch of preparation: center-back Nayef Aguerd and forward Abde Ezzalzouli were ruled out.

Ezzalzouli was expected to be one of Morocco’s great hopes after a great season alongside Antony at Betis.

Mazraoui was at one point a doubt, but recovered from a dislocated shoulder.

Bono, Hakimi and Saibari remain key figures.

The lineup is: Bono; Hakimi, Diop, Chadi Riad, Mazraoui; Bouaddi, El Aynaoui; Brahim Díaz, El Khanouss, Ounahi; Saibari.
