Akhomash joins Morocco camp ahead of Díaz's potential absence against Gabon

Morocco coach Mohamed Wahbi has called up international player Elias Akhomach to join the national team's camp in preparation for the upcoming three matches, including the anticipated clash against Gabon. This decision comes after the impressive performances the player has shown with Villarreal.

Akhomash has been called up due to uncertainty surrounding Brahim Díaz, the star of Real Madrid, regarding his participation in the upcoming match, as some muscular discomfort has prevented him from reaching full readiness.

Wahbi's decision aims to enhance the attacking options available, especially as Akhoumash has made a strong start to the season with Villarreal. He has managed to establish himself thanks to his performance, vitality, and ability to play in multiple attacking positions.

Akhomash is expected to join the Atlas Lions' camp at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé, making himself available to the coaching staff. This comes as the health status of Brahim Díaz is still being monitored before a final decision is made regarding his participation against Gabon.

The inclusion of Akhoumash in the camp gives the Moroccan coach an additional attacking option as competition for places in the Moroccan national team continues, with the coaching staff seeking to provide ready alternatives for various scenarios.
