Morocco's Abdessamad Ezzalzouli to join FC Barcelona’s next game, after testing negative for COVID-19
Saturday 8 January 2022 - 18:40

Moroccan international football star, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, will be able to play again with his FC Barcelona team tonight against Granada in La Liga, after he recovered from COVID-19.

Tonight’s game against Granada is set to take place at 6.30 p.m.

On December 30, the Beni Mellal native tested positive for COVID-19, until yesterday, he tested negative. He has since joined training sessions ahead of tonight’s match.

Previously, Morocco’s national team coach Vahid Halilhodzic invited the Moroccan star to be part of 2022 CAN. However, the international player said he will not be able to attend CAN’s games until March 2022.

The Atlas Lions coach invited the international player Tarik Tissoudali, striker of the Belgian football club Ghent to join CAN’s games instead of Ezzalzouli.

Tissoudali accepted the request, and will therefore replace Beni Mellal’s native Abdessamad Ezzalzouli in this sporting event.

CAN is set to take place in Cameroon, from January 9 to February 6, with Morocco placed in Group C, alongside Gabon, Ghana, and Comoros.

Morocco’s first game against Ghana for CAN 2022 is scheduled for Monday, January 10.
