Out for quarterfinal

Saibari (hamstring) is out for Thursday's quarterfinal match against France, according to manager Mohamed Ouahbi, per Ed Dove of ESPN . "Everyone's available, except Saibari, with the match coming too early for him, although he's not out for the rest of the tournament, I hope."

Analysis: Saibari will have to sit out the quarterfinal after suffering an injury in Morocco's round of 16 contest, as the attacker is dealing with a hamstring injury. The good news for the attacker is that he is not yet ruled out for the tournament, as a return could come if Morocco makes it past France. Morocco will likely lean on Soufiane Rahimi to start in his place at forward, needing a big match from the backup forward and other Moroccan attackers to make it past this mighty French squad.

Hopeful for France clash

Saibari (hamstring) is expected to remain in contention for Morocco's World Cup quarterfinal against France after medical tests revealed only a minor muscle issue, according to FC Update NL.

Analysis: Saibari was forced off after just 22 minutes during Morocco's Round of 16 victory over Canada, initially raising fears of a more serious hamstring injury. However, subsequent examinations showed the problem to be less severe than first feared, with the Bayern Munich midfielder now following a tailored recovery program under the supervision of Morocco's medical staff. While the team is taking a cautious approach to his rehabilitation, optimism is growing regarding his availability for the quarterfinal. Saibari has been one of Morocco's standout performers at the tournament, scoring three goals in five appearances and converting a penalty in the shootout win over the Netherlands.
