Injury Streak Continues: El Karouani Injured in Utrecht-Betis Clash, Exits at Halftime
The match between Utrecht and Real Betis on Thursday evening witnessed two impactful incidents, as two Moroccan players sustained injuries in the same game, less than a month before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Moroccan international Souffian El Karouani, a Utrecht player, suffered a severe head injury after colliding with his own team's goalkeeper. This incident forced him to leave the match at halftime, rendering him unable to complete the game.
This was not the only injury in the match; just minutes earlier, another Moroccan international, Sofyan Amrabat, also sustained an injury and left the field in the 15th minute.
Monitoring the condition of both El Karouani and Amrabat will remain a key focus for Moroccan national team fans and coaching staff, to ensure their full readiness before the Africa Cup of Nations.
