Mazraoui suffered a shoulder contusion following a collision during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Norway and was forced off, but coach Mohamed Ouahbi confirmed the injury is not a serious concern and that the defender should be available for Morocco's World Cup opener against Brazil, according to Lions de L'Atlas.
Analysis:
Mazraoui is expected to be Morocco's first-choice left-back throughout the tournament and the reassuring update from the coaching staff puts any concerns about his availability firmly to rest. The minor nature of the contusion means no significant recovery time is needed, giving the Atlas Lions confidence that one of their most important defensive options will be ready for the biggest game of their World Cup preparations.
