Achraf Hakimi - Doubt against Belgium Hakimi (thigh) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Belgium due to a thigh strain picked up in a scoreless draw with Croatia, according to FootMercato.

Impact Hakimi formed the strongest part of this Moroccan team alongside Noussair Mazraoui (hip) at full-back, and now both are doubts for the second match of the group stage. Sunday's match is absolutely crucial, so it's likely that Hakimi and Mazraoui will push to play if at all possible, though both are being reported as doubts.

Impact Even Navas was caught out by an impressive display from his opponents, as he tends to be quite consistent regardless of the occasion but made a few mistakes too. With Navas off to a rough start, it may be wise to look elsewhere as he still faces tall tasks against Japan and Germany.
