The Atlas Lions have confirmed their starting lineup for Sunday's friendly against Mali at the Grand Stade de Tanger.
Mohamed Ouahbi has made several changes to his side, with Noussair Mazraoui unavailable through injury, while captain Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz are also absent from the starting XI.
Bounou Leads the Team
Yassine Bounou starts in goal, once again providing experience between the posts.
In defence, Ouahbi has selected Ali Maamar, Nayef Aguerd, Issa Diop and Anass Salah-Eddine.
The defensive setup will be closely watched following Mazraoui's absence, with Maamar receiving another opportunity to contribute from the right side.
A Strong Midfield Trio
The midfield features Neil El Aynaoui, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Azzedine Ounahi.
The trio will be tasked with controlling the tempo and providing the attacking players with a solid platform against a physically demanding Malian side.
Khannouss, Saibari and Ezzalzouli Lead the Attack
Ouahbi has opted for Bilal El Khannouss, Ismael Saibari and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli in the attacking line.
Their technical quality, movement and ability to create chances could prove important against a Malian team expected to provide a serious test.
