Moroccan striker Ayoub El Kaabi’s availability for Olympiakos remains uncertain after sustaining a muscle injury, potentially sidelining him for the club’s next three fixtures in domestic and European competitions.
According to Greek media reports, Olympiakos will likely be without both El Kaabi and teammate André Horta for their upcoming matches against AEK Athens in the league, Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League Round of 16, and OFI Crete in the Greek Super League. However, optimism remains regarding their return before the international break or by early April at the latest.
Meanwhile, Moroccan national team coach Walid Regragui is awaiting a detailed medical report on El Kaabi’s condition before making a decision on his call-up for the upcoming World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Niger and Tanzania.
El Kaabi’s injury occurred during Olympiakos’ recent Greek Cup match against AEK Athens, where he scored just five minutes after being subbed in at the 73rd minute. However, he was forced off the field in the 83rd minute due to discomfort in his thigh. Despite his early exit, Olympiakos secured a dominant 6-0 victory.
The 30-year-old forward has been in outstanding form this season, netting 23 goals across all competitions. He currently leads the Greek Super League scoring charts with 15 goals, in addition to his seven goals in the Europa League and one in the Greek Cup.
