Returns to training
Aguerd (groin) returned to training on Tuesday at La Commanderie, the club announced.
Analysis: Aguerd had been sidelined for several months with a groin injury, with his last appearance coming in the nightmarish Coupe de France quarterfinal loss to Toulouse at the Velodrome on March 4. The Morocco international was unable to feature at the World Cup as a result of the injury. He made just 22 appearances last season, picking up five yellow cards along the way. Aguerd is expected to build toward full fitness as Marseille's preseason preparations continue.
Won't play in World Cup
Aguerd (pubalgia) has been ruled out of the World Cup, according to Hanif Ben Berkane of Foot Mercato.
Analysis: Aguerd had been working through his rehabilitation from the pubalgia surgery that ended his Marseille season prematurely, but his recovery has ultimately come too late for him to be available for the tournament. Morocco will now need to manage without one of their most important center-backs, having already lost Ez Abde (knee) to injury, heading into what promises to be a highly demanding group stage campaign against Brazil. Aguerd is replaced by Marwane Saadane.
