Morocco plays its round of 16 on Tuesday January 30 in San Pedro against South Africa. The Atlas Lions will have to do without their manager Sofiane Boufal, victim of a muscle injury in training.

Hakim Ziyech was injured against Zambia and could also miss the match. “We are going to do our best to get him on the pitch, if we have to take a risk, we will take it,” insisted coach Walid Regragui.
