Abde in doubt for the World Cup: tests will determine his participation

Abde will undergo new tests to determine if he will be able to participate in the World Cup after getting injured in a friendly match for Morocco. The inflammation in his knee is keeping his presence in the competition that starts this week uncertain.

Medical tests will determine Abde's future

The injury suffered by Abde in the friendly match for Morocco against Norway has cast doubt on his participation in the World Cup hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Following a sprain in the medial collateral ligament of his right knee, the evolution of the inflammation is being monitored to confirm his condition. If the initial diagnosis is confirmed, he could miss part of the tournament, although the injury could reduce to a couple of weeks if it is grade I.

Fortuitous action that generates uncertainty

The injury occurred during a corner kick defense when a former teammate fell onto Abde's leg, causing a knee twist. Real Betis, awaiting to ascertain the exact extent, is in contact with the medical services of the Moroccan Federation. Uncertainty surrounds the situation, with the possibility that Abde may miss the World Cup and begin preseason with Pellegrini from the start.
