National team coach Mohamed Ouahbi has announced his starting lineup for the Atlas Lions’ friendly against Mali this Sunday, October 4 at the Grand Stade de Tanger, with several changes to the team.
For the final match of the September-October international break, Ouahbi has once again reshuffled his starting eleven, making several changes from the lineups used against Gabon and Lesotho.
Against the Eagles, the national team coach has made changes in several areas, including the return of Nayef Aguerd in central defense.
Absent against Lesotho, Aguerd returns to the heart of the defense alongside Issa Diop. Ali Maamar will start on the right, while Anass Salah-Eddine lines up on the left.
The Atlas Lions will have Neil El Aynaoui, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Azzedine Ounahi in midfield.
Up front, Ismael Saibari will lead the attack, with Bilal El Khannouss and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli on the right and left respectively. The trio will form the Atlas Lions’ attacking unit against Mali.
