Moroccan coach Walid Regragui confirms Boufal's withdrawal for the rest of the competition. The attacking midfielder, starting on the left of the Moroccan 4-1-4-1, was injured during training following the match against Zambia on 24 last January.
Morocco, semi-finalist of the last World Cup, could also appear in this 8th of final without another major attacker: Hakim Ziyech. In the event of a victory this Tuesday, the Atlas Lions will face the winner of the Mauritania-Cape Verde match, scheduled for Monday.
