Wydad Athletic Club faces the Clasico match against the Royal Army this Wednesday evening at the Mohammed V Sports Complex, as part of the postponed ninth round of the Moroccan Professional League, amidst significant absences affecting several of its key players.

The red team will be missing the services of its captain, Nordin Amrabat, due to injury, and Joseph Bacasso is also absent due to suspension after receiving four warnings. Additionally, the Brazilian Ferreira is out for technical reasons, which presents clear challenges for the coaching staff ahead of one of the season's most significant matches.

In contrast, coach Mohamed Amine Benhachem called up a squad of 20 players for the match, including Mehdi Benabid, Abdelali Mohamedi, Ayman El Wafi, Amine Abou El Fath, Salah Mossadek, Ayoub Boushita, Mohamed Mofeed, Mohamed Bouchouari, Nabil Khali, Walid Sabbar, Abdelghafour Lamirat, Naeem Biyaar, Faka Ramiro, Hamza El Wasti, Hakim Ziyech, Walid Nassi, Mohamed Rayhi, Moses Paniagua, Wissam Ben Yedder, and Hamza Ben Yedder.

Attention is drawn to this anticipated summit amidst significant absences, presenting an opportunity for some individuals to prove themselves and leave a strong mark in a confrontation that allows no room for compromise.
