Nayef Aguerd is expected to undergo surgery this week as he begins a race against time to regain full fitness ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Morocco national football team defender is set for the procedure as part of efforts to address a lingering issue, with medical staff hopeful the operation will aid his recovery and return to competitive action in time for the global tournament.
Aguerd has been a key figure in Morocco’s defense in recent years, playing an important role in the team’s success on the international stage. His presence at the back is considered vital for the Atlas Lions as they prepare for another World Cup campaign.
While the exact recovery timeline remains uncertain, the focus will be on ensuring the defender returns to full fitness as Morocco look to have one of their most reliable players available when the tournament kicks off.
