Wydad Athletic Club received a strong shock after confirming the absence of new signing Hamza Al-Wasti for no less than three months due to a severe injury he sustained in the recent friendly match against Hassania Agadir, as part of the "Hamid El Hazzaz" Cup held at the Fes Stadium last Thursday.

Al-Wasti joined the Red Castle during the summer transfer window and suffered a fracture in his left collarbone following a strong tackle, which necessitated undergoing thorough examinations that confirmed the need for urgent surgery.

The player successfully underwent the operation on Friday, immediately entering a rehabilitation period expected to last from 10 to 12 weeks, including phases of physical therapy and regaining physical fitness before gradually returning to team training.

A medical source from within the club confirmed that the technical and medical staff prepared a special program for the player to expedite his return without risking his health, emphasizing that his participation will not happen until his full recovery is ensured.

This injury comes at a time when coach Mohamed Amin Benhachem had high hopes for Al-Wasti to strengthen the midfield, especially with the team's busy schedule between local and continental competitions. His absence will force the coaching staff to rearrange their tactical plans while awaiting the player's return to the field.
