Ismaël Saibari, Ayoub El Kaabi and Soufiane Rahimi are absent through injury, Hespress reports. The announcement took place at the Mohammed VI Football Complex ahead of the training camp scheduled to start on 9 November.

The first game is scheduled for 13 November at Casablanca’s Mohammed V Complex, followed by a second on 17 November at Rabat’s Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. They are qualifying matchdays three and four. The call-up establishes the preparation group; it is not a starting lineup and the games have yet to be played.
