The participation of Moroccan international Elias Ben Seghir with the Moroccan national team in the World Cup finals has become doubtful, given his reduced appearances with his club, Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.

The young player has suffered from a lack of competitiveness since the start of the season, having played only seven matches with performances that did not meet expectations, which led the coaching staff to exclude him from the starting lineup.

The situation for Ben Sghir worsened after he suffered a severe ankle injury, which kept him off the field for 17 matches across various tournaments between January and March.

The player recently returned to the team roster after recovering and participated in the matches against Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund, but remained on the bench without any playtime.

The player continued to miss official minutes, despite his physical readiness, as the coach relied on other more stable options within the lineup.

The position of Ben Saghir within the team was impacted by the outstanding performance of Nigerian Nathan Tella, who established himself as a key player in the same position, reducing the opportunities for the Moroccan player to return to participation.

Bayer Leverkusen continued their positive results this season after securing an important victory against Borussia Dortmund away from home in the German Bundesliga.

During the current season, Ben Saghir has made only 12 appearances with the team across various competitions, without scoring any goals or providing any assists.

The player's chances of regaining his position remain tied to his ability to gradually recover his competitiveness in the upcoming matches.
