Back in Stuttgart

El Khannouss is back in Stuttgart following the World Cup ahead of the club's season opener, according to the club.

Analysis: El Khannouss closed out a decent overall World Cup with Morocco, completing 182 passes with six shots, seven chances created and 10 crosses across the tournament despite not registering a goal contribution, including a quiet 62 minute outing in the loss to France. His return to the club now shifts focus to preseason preparations as he looks to build on that international experience heading into the new 2026/27 Bundesliga season.
