The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' revealed that Moroccan international Azzedine Ounahi, midfielder for Girona, will be absent from the pitch for a period that could extend up to three weeks after suffering a recent muscle injury.

According to the official statement from the Catalan club, Ounahi's return is contingent upon the development of his health condition in the coming days, which puts his participation against Barcelona in doubt, especially after confirming his absence from the match against Valencia next Saturday.

The player's absence is not limited to his club alone, as the Moroccan national coach will have to do without his services during the October camp, which includes a friendly match against Bahrain, followed by an official game against Congo for the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

This injury represents a significant blow to the Moroccan national team, given Ounahi's technical value in midfield, especially with the upcoming continental and international competitions.
