Impact Saibari will have to sit out the quarterfinal after suffering an injury in Morocco's round of 16 contest, as the attacker is dealing with a hamstring injury. The good news for the attacker is he is not yet ruled out for the tournament, as a return could come if Morocco make it past France. Morocco will likely lean on Soufiane Rahimi to start in his place at forward, needing a big match from the backup forward and other Moroccan attackers to make it past this mighty French squad.

Impact Saibari was forced off after just 22 minutes during Morocco's Round of 16 victory over Canada, initially raising fears of a more serious hamstring injury. However, subsequent examinations showed the problem to be less severe than first feared, with the Bayern Munich midfielder now following a tailored recovery program under the supervision of Morocco's medical staff. While the team is taking a cautious approach to his rehabilitation, optimism is growing regarding his availability for the quarterfinal. Saibari has been one of Morocco's standout performers at the tournament, scoring three goals in five appearances and converting a penalty in the shootout win over the Netherlands.

Set for MRI Saibari (hamstring) is set for an MRI on Monday to decide his remaining participation in the World Cup, according to Mountakhab Foot.

Impact Saibari would have to exit the field for Morocco on Saturday as the country and supporters hold their breath, not wanting to lose their leading scorer for the remainder of the tournament. He is set for an MRI to get further diagnosis on his injury, as anything more than a slight strain of his hamstring would likely end his tournament. That said, there is a chance he is sidelined for the rest of the World Cup, leaving Soufiane Rahimi as a possible replacement.

Impact Saibari was forced off in the 22nd minute of Morocco's round of 16 clash with Canada with an apparent hamstring injury. He had been one of the most in form players of the tournament, entering the match as Morocco's top scorer with three goals, including the winning penalty in the shootout win over the Netherlands. Soufiane Rahimi came on to replace him up front. Losing Saibari would be a significant blow for Morocco if they advance, given the role he has played in their run so far.

He became one of the most decorated players in Dutch football, scoring 42 goals and providing 29 assists for PSV while winning the Eredivisie title and Super Cup three times each and the Dutch Cup twice, and was named Dutch Footballer of the Year this season.

Scores winning penalty in shootout Saibari recorded no stats in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout victory versus Netherlands.

Impact Saibari scored the final penalty of the shootout, which saw Morocco progress past the Netherlands and book themselves a place in the round of 16, where they will face Canada. The winger has started each game of the World Cup and scored a goal in each group stage game. In the first half, Achraf Hakimi played what seemed like a perfect ball for the attacker, but the bounce took it over his thigh and the chance went amiss. This was the first game of the tournament that he has played the full game, but also the first where he created two chances.
