DR ‹ › Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with Olympique de Marseille (OM). Last month, Aguerd sustained a groin injury at the start of the season, which ultimately required surgery. Unfortunately, the recovery period was insufficient for a full comeback. According to multiple media reports, the injury was aggravated by a tear that hadn't completely healed, forcing the defender to remain on the sidelines. Currently, there is uncertainty surrounding his participation with Morocco in the 2026 World Cup, set to begin in June. Fin de saison pour Nayef Aguerd... le garderez-vous pour la saison prochaine ? #TeamOM #MercatOM https://t.co/2Q8Ln4vEZA — OM_Fada (@OM_Fada_) April 16, 2026 This extended absence is a significant setback for the club, which had hoped to have Nayef Aguerd back for the crucial «final sprint» of the season. Now, the team will need to depend on other central defenders. As for the national team, coach Mohamed Ouahbi's recent call-ups, including Issa Diop, Chadi Riyad, Redouane Halhal, and Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal, might need to step up in Aguerd's absence if his health keeps him from competing in the World Cup this summer.
