Ayoub El Kaabi and Aymen Barkok have tested negative for COVID-19 this Tuesday, and will therefore be able to join the national team in CAN’s upcoming games.

Both players will therefore play in the second match of the African Cup of Nations (CAN) against Comoros, set to take place this Friday, January 14.

In the first CAN game, Morocco defeated Ghana with a 1-0 win, with Sofiane Boufal scoring the national team’s victory goal.

The first game was also marked by the presence of the Paris Saint Germain Star (PSG) Achraf Hakimi, leading CAF to publish, on Monday, an Instagram post of Achraf Hakimi’s gesture in helping Ghana’s player Iddrisu to stand up, stating, “football unites us, with flags of both countries”

CAN has begun on Sunday and will last until February 6 in Cameroon, with Morocco placed in Group C, alongside Ghana, Comoros, and Gabon.

Morocco’s last game with Group C against Gabon is scheduled for January 18.
