Stretched off Saturday
Riad was forced off with a serious knee injury in the 72nd minute of Saturday's match against Everton.
Analysis: Riad injured his knee and had to be stretchered off in the 72nd minute of the league opener, a potentially devastating blow for the center-back. He had been in excellent form and was expected to play a major role in the back line following Maxence Lacroix's departure. Riad now appears likely to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with concerns that he may have suffered another ACL injury. Takehiro Tomiyasu will now the most likely to take the left center-back spot.
Set to return against France
Riad (undisclosed) was dealing with an issue and did not feature against Canada, but is expected to be fully available for Morocco's match against France, according to Izem Anass of the Moroccan Sports Journalists Union.
Analysis: Riad's expected return is a boost for Morocco as they prepare for a tough test against France, giving the squad back a key option after sitting out the win over Canada. If he is unable to start, Redouane Halhal figures to once again fill in at his spot, as he did in the previous match. Riad's fitness will be worth confirming closer to kickoff, with his availability likely to factor into the starting lineup Morocco fields against the French.
