Akman out of Morocco's plans against Gabon and Lesotho

Moroccan international Hamza Akman has suffered another setback in his race to return to the pitch, as reports close to LOSC Lille have revealed that the striker will continue his rehabilitation program until October due to incomplete recovery from the injury he sustained months ago.

According to circulating information, LOSC Lille's medical staff have not granted Hamza Akman the green light to return to competition at this time, preferring to continue his rehabilitation program until they can be certain of his recovery and the completion of the various stages of treatment.

Moroccan striker Hamza Akman is set to undergo continuous medical monitoring in the coming period, with his condition to be reassessed in October before a final decision is made regarding his return to training and matches.

The continued absence of Akman means that the LOSC Lille forward will not be available for the Morocco national team at the end of next month, when they face Gabon and Lesotho in the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

These developments further postpone Hamza Akman's return to competition, as he awaits complete recovery and medical clearance to rejoin his team and the Atlas Lions.
