NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI NEWS

Not expected for major absence Mazraoui (hip) isn't expected to be sidelined for a long period of time, according to Georg Holzner of kicker.de.

Impact Mazraoui picked up a hip injury during Wednesday's scoreless draw, but could play as soon as a Sunday clash with Beglium. Mazraoui's availability is even more important than it normally would be, as Achraf Hakimi (thigh) has reportedly picked up a problematic injury of his own. Injuries to both would leave Morocco reeling without their two star full-backs.

Set for MRI Mazraoui (hip) is headed for an MRI to assess his status after Wednesday's scoreless draw with Croatia, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Germany.

Impact Mazraoui hasn't been ruled out of anything yet but that should change in the near future. He was taken off the pitch Wednesday on a stretcher with his hip held down so there is certainly something to worry about. Yahya Attiyat Allah took Mazraoui's place at left-back and could keep that place for Sunday's match against Belgium pending further news.

Impact Mazraoui was a question mark coming into the World Cup due to a different physical problem, but he got the start and shined defensively in the opener. On the other hand, he couldn't complete the match due to a new issue and will have to take some tests in the next few days. Morocco will face Belgium Sunday. Yahya Attiyat Allah filled in at left-back once he was forced off.

Training Wednesday Mazraoui (strain) was pictured in full training with Morocco ahead of the World Cup.

Impact Mazraoui was an unused substitute during Saturday's 2-0 win over Schalke due to a muscular issue, but is back in full training with Morocco. The right-back projects as a nailed-on starter on the opposite flank of Achraf Hakimi, with one of the two star full-backs being forced to play out of position.

Two assists in continued starts Mazraoui assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and three chances created in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over Werder Bremen.

Impact Mazraoui assisted twice, his second and third assists since his first Bundesliga appearance in September. The right-back has been largely used in a rotational role, but is seeing more playing time as Benjamin Pavard has been forced into center-back to cover for injuries. Mazraoui has created 10 chances in 11 appearances (six starts) in the Bundesliga.

Starts in win Mazraoui putt two shots off target and logged two crosses (one accurate) during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Inter Milan.

Impact Mazraoui continues to put in solid minutes at right-back during Lucas Hernandez's long-term absence in the middle. When Hernandez does return, Mazraoui will have to work harder for the same minutes as Benjamin Pavard is likely to ask for more starts at right-back.

Back in training Mazraoui (thigh) returned to team training as of Friday and will be fit for Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim, according to manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Impact Mazraoui didn't feature during the midweek DFB Pokal win over Augsburg but won't miss any league or European matches. He should keep his place as the starting right-back since Benjamin Pavard has seen more rotation recently or featured as a center-back now that Mazraoui is fit.

Has muscular strain Mazraoui (thigh) is dealing with muscular discomfort and will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's DFB Pokal match against Augsburg, according to manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Impact Mazraoui will hope not to be out for very long after leaving late into Sunday's 5-0 win over Freiburg. Were he to also miss out on Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim, Josip Stanisic could receive another start.

Subs off injured Mazraoui was forced off in the second half of Sunday's 5-0 win over Freiburg due to a thigh injury.

Impact Mazraoui was forced off in the 79th minute after suffering a thigh injury in a duel. The full-back's status for next week's match against Hoffenheim is now in question.

Transfers to Bayern Mazraoui has signed a four-year contract with Bayern Munich after transferring from Ajax, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Mazraoui tallied 10 goals and nine assists in 136 appearances in all competitions during his four seasons and change with Ajax's senior team after coming up through the academy, winning three Eredivisie titles and two Dutch Cups, and the 24-year-old was also part of the club's iconic Champions League side that almost made it to the Final in 2019. The right back is now set to move to perennial German champions Bayern when the market officially opens in July, where he will compete with Benjamin Pavard for the starting right back spot, or he'll become the preferred right wing back in a 3-4-2-1 formation that manager Julian Nagelsmann seems to want to employ. Meanwhile, Devyne Rensch will likely take over as the starting right back at Ajax.

Impact Mazraoui had a few dangerous flashes on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to avoid an upset defeat at the hands of Benfica and Darwin Nunez's headed winner. He finishes the season in the competition with two assists from 10 chances created, as well was nine shots (three on target) in eight appearances.

Good for second leg Mazraoui started in Ajax's last league match and is available for Tuesday's match against Benfica.

Impact Mazraoui left early over the weekend, but manager Erik ten Hag said his entire team was healthy going into Tuesday's match. If that's the case, it's expected Mazraoui will be in the starting XI in his usual spot at right-back.

Assists, exits injured UCL draw Mazraoui tallied one assist but was replaced in stoppage time of Wednesday's 2-2 draw to Benfica with a suspected injury.

Impact Mazraoui was having a terrific game after also mounting two shots (both on target), three crosses (one accurate), three tackles (all won), two interceptions, two blocked shots, two clearances and a yellow card but his issue will surely post a threat for his second-leg availability.

Impact Mazraoui went up the field whenever he had the chance and, alongside Antony, generated a lot of plays from the right flank, which included an assist for Sebastien Haller to score his fourth goal and seal the 5-1 win in the 63rd minute. The right back will try to remain productive during Sep. 28 home match against Besiktas.
