The national coach Walid Rekraki is awaiting medical reports regarding Moroccan international Sofiane Amrabat, who sustained a serious injury during his team's match against Ludogorets in the second round of the UEFA Europa League.

Real Betis announced that their Moroccan midfielder will miss the match against Espanyol after suffering a bruise to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh, which is one of the front muscles responsible for lifting the leg. The club did not specify the duration of the player's absence, which adds to the doubts about his readiness for the national team matches.

According to analyses from sports experts, Amrabat's injury is classified among those that may require a rest period ranging from two to four weeks depending on the development of the condition, which raises significant doubts about his participation against Bahrain and Congo.

On the other hand, Rekraki has positioned Royal Army player Anas Bach as the first option to replace Amrabat in case his absence from next week's friendlies in Rabat is confirmed, which analysts considered a logical step given the outstanding levels the player has been showing locally and continentally.
