The technical staff of Raja Club Athletic received a heavy blow today after it was officially confirmed that Mohammed El Makazi, the prominent midfielder, will be absent from the field for a full three weeks. This injury disrupts the calculations of the green team during a critical period of the season and raises concerns among its fans, especially with the approaching important continental commitments.
Detailed medical examinations conducted on El Makazi revealed an injury in the thigh area. The player sustained this injury during his team’s match against Ittihad Tanger, in the seventh round of the Professional League competition held at the Arabie Zouali Stadium. The medical team sought to precisely determine the extent of the injury to ensure the player receives appropriate treatment and adequate recovery time.
Based on medical assessments, the specialized team at Raja club has set Mohammed El Makazi’s absence period at three weeks, meaning he will miss many important matches. Among these key matches is the team’s upcoming game against ASKO Kara from Togo, which is part of the first round of the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. This situation places the coach in a dilemma regarding the choice of a suitable substitute.
Raja Club is preparing to compete in the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup within a strong group that includes alongside them the Egyptian Al Ahly, Togo’s ASKO Kara, and Angola’s Primeiro de Agosto. The team hopes to overcome this significant absence of Mohammed El Makazi and perform at a level befitting its ambitions in the continental championship.
