Achraf Hakimi again on Morocco bench to face Mali | OneFootball

Achraf Hakimi will again start on the bench for Morocco against Mali in Rabat on Friday at 9pm in the Africa Cup of Nations. L'Équipe reports that the Paris Saint-Germain right-back is still recovering from an ankle sprain sustained in early November.

It mirrors the Comoros game, a 2-0 win in which he did not feature.

Walid Regragui has largely kept his opening line-up, with two changes. Jawad El Yamiq replaces Romain Saïss, who has a muscle injury, and Ayoub El Kaabi comes in for Soufiane Rahimi up front after scoring in the first match.

Hamza Igamane remains absent with an adductor injury.

Morocco XI, Bounou (captain), Mazraoui, Aguerd, El Yamiq, Salah-Eddine, El Aynaoui, Amrabat, Ounahi, B. Diaz, El Kaabi, Saibari.

Mali XI, D. Diarra, W. Coulibaly, O.Camara, A. Dieng, A. Diaby, Gassama, L. Coulibaly, Bissouma (captain), M.Doumbia, Sinayoko, Sangare.
