Wydad Casablanca miss Al-Rashdan and Olugbadi at the start of the league

Wydad Casablanca has received an early blow ahead of the start of the professional league competition for the new sports season, as it has been confirmed that players Nizar Al-Rashdan and Junior FC will miss the team's first two matches due to their international commitments with the national teams of Jordan and Benin.

Benin forward Junior Olugbadi will miss Wydad Casablanca's opening match against Wydad Temara next Saturday as he has joined his national team's camp in preparation for upcoming international fixtures.

Jordan's Nizar Al-Rashdan is expected to join his national team during the international break, which will prevent him from participating with Wydad Casablanca at the start of their campaign in the tournament.

The impact of their absence will not stop at the first round, as Wydad Casablanca is expected to miss the services of Nizar Al-Rashdan and Oulghabadi during the second round when they face Hassania Agadir, due to their ongoing commitments with their national teams.

Thus, the coaching staff of Wydad Casablanca will be required to find suitable alternatives to compensate for the absence of the duo during the first two matches, at a time when the red team aims to record a strong start to the new football season.
