Sofyan Amrabat
Logs 81 minutes in friendly
Amrabat (undisclosed) started and created one scoring chance over 81 minutes for Morocco during Tuesday's friendly win over Madagascar.
Analysis: Amrabat has recovered from the problem that forced him to miss the final La Liga match of the season, and his availability is a massive boost to his nation's midfield. He'll contend with both Neil El Aynaoui and Ayyoub Bouaddi for one of the holding midfield spots, with the Betis man capable of contributing heavily in terms of defense and possession and only occasionally generating offensive play.
Won't play season finale
Amrabat (undisclosed) will not be available for Saturday's season finale against Levante, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini, per Zona Mixta. "Amrabat and Altimira are ruled out for tomorrow."
Analysis: Amrabat ends what has been a difficult season plagued by injuries with one goal, 30 tackles, 14 interceptions and 20 clearances across 23 appearances (19 starts) in all competitions for Betis, having been unable to establish the consistent run of form that his talent warrants. The Moroccan midfielder will now focus on being fully fit for the World Cup as he could be called by Morocco.
