Abde (knee) has been ruled out of the World Cup entirely and will be replaced in Morocco's squad by Amine Sbai, according to Hanif Ben Berkane of Foot Mercato.
Analysis:
Abde's tournament is over after the moderate knee ligament sprain he suffered during Sunday's friendly against Norway proved too serious to recover from in time for any part of the competition. Morocco will now reorganize their attacking options without one of their key wide players, with Bilal El Khannouss expected to cover on the left flank as the Atlas Lions prepare for their World Cup opener against Brazil.
