Morocco: Belhanda to miss AFCON 2017

Morocco: Belhanda to miss AFCON 2017

Morocco

Moroccan international Younes Belhanda has been ruled out of play for four weeks, after what his French club Nice say is a toe fracture, an injury that means that Morocco will miss his services.

The club announced that the 26-year-old attacking midfielder suffered the setback during a match against Bordeaux on Wednesday, a match that ended as a barren draw.

The player had also been sent off during the match after a fierce with Bordeaux players.
The injury now means that Morocco will miss his services, adding on to the list on Herve Renard’s men.
