While non-internationals take advantage of the international break to recharge their batteries, Olympique de Marseille is worried about Azzedine Ounahi.
The midfielder took part in Morocco’s historic victory against Brazil (2-1) on Saturday evening in a friendly in Tangier but had to leave on the hour mark. Holder against Seleçao, the former Angevin returned a excellent copy before giving way to Abdelhamid Sabiri. After the meeting, the Moroccan coach Walid Regragui confirmed the injury of the Marseillais without giving more details on a possible unavailability. According to RMC SportsOunahi could suffer from a toe injury and will have to undergo further tests to find out if he remains available for the Atlas Lions’ second game on Tuesday night against Peru in Spain.
The Olympian club attentive to the situation
The management of OM is following this file from a distance but is necessarily worried about Ounahi, who arrived this winter against a check for 10 million euros. The latter has also played while already injured before the meeting according to his own admission. “Despite a broken toe, the enthusiasm of the public makes you overcome the injury. It gives you a plus, it’s incredible. We are happy to find them (the supporters) to celebrate the return of the World Cup”, dropped the main interested party after the match.
Regragui confirms
Information confirmed by his coach in stride. “During the first period we were at the level of the World Cup. In the second, we were no longer in the hard, but we had glitches including Ounahi who was already playing injured”, underlined Regragui. Since his transfer to OM at the start of the year, the 22-year-old has appeared nine times in Igor Tudor’s team for only one start.
