Morocco's Igamane Suffers ACL Injury, World Cup Hopes in Doubt
Hamza Igamane faces up to six months out after cruciate ligament damage in AFCON final, ruling him out of Morocco's World Cup match against Scotland, coach Regragui confirmed.
- This past week in Rabat, Morocco forward Hamza Igamane suffered cruciate ligament damage after coming on eight minutes into extra time and injuring his knee shortly afterward, according to coach Walid Regragui.
- After sustaining an earlier injury last month against Marseille, Morocco national team medical staff cleared Hamza Igamane, and Walid Regragui gambled by taking the 23-year-old forward to the tournament.
- After his substitute appearance eight minutes into extra time, Igamane could not continue, and Morocco played with 10 men in extra time, according to Regragui.

- Steve Clarke's Scotland face Morocco in Boston without Igamane, who will play no part in Morocco's World Cup Group C matches after an injury amid AFCON final chaos and the Senegal walk-off.
