Nayef Aguerd missed Morocco's 2-0 semi-final World Cup defeat to France due to the flu, manager Walid Regragui has confirmed.
The West Ham United defender picked up an injury in the Round of 16 win over Spain and was ruled out of the quarter-final tie against Portugal, with his place for Wednesday night's match in doubt.
His inclusion in the starting line-up was a surprise but when the game kicked off, he was nowhere to be seen on the pitch with Achraf Dari starting ahead of him after replacing Hammers' summer signing after the warm-up.
