Morocco manager Walid Regragui's decision to select injury doubts Nayef Aguerd and Romain Saiss against France on backfired, as both players were forced out of the game.
Aguerd and Saiss were both including in the starting XI for the World Cup semi-final at the Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday, despite suffering knocks earlier in the tournament. Aguerd missed Morocco's quarter-final win against Portugal on Saturday.
West Ham defender Aguerd was expected to miss Wednesday's game but was included in Regragui's initial starting XI. The Morocco manager was then forced into a last-minute change, with Achraf Dari added to the team moments before kick-off.
