At a press conference before the quarter-final against France, national team coach Mohamed Ouahbi announced that the 25-year-old would not be in the squad.

This match comes too soon for him, he said.

It is still unclear how serious the injury is. According to Mohamed Ouahbi, there are hopes that Saibari will be able to play in a possible semi-final if Morocco gets there.

Saibari scored three goals in the group stage and scored the decisive penalty against the Netherlands in the round of 16.

France-Morocco starts at 10 p.m.
