Makes two tackles at Leeds Aguerd registered two tackles (one won), two clearances and a yellow card in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Leeds.

Impact Aguerd had a good defensive outing to help them earn one point on the road. The centerback made the second-most tackles and clearances for his side during the match. He also received his first yellow card of the season after six appearances (five starts), though.

Could be option Wednesday Aguerd "is getting himself back ready and is under serious consideration" for Wednesday's match at Leeds, according to manager David Moyes.

Impact Aguerd was on the bench last match and appears ready to start again. But while he was a regular for Morocco in the World Cup, he's made just one appearance for West Ham this season because of injury, so he's not an automatic start just yet. But given some recent results, it wouldn't be surprising to see him in the starting XI shortly.

Makes bench versus Brentford Aguerd (groin) will be available as a substitute against Brentford on Friday.

Impact Aguerd continues to work his way back to full match fitness, having missed the opening three months of the season. As such, it could be a few matches before the defender gets a crack at breaking into the starting XI, though a busy schedule could open the door for Aguerd to get some minutes. In the meantime, Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna will maintain the backline for the Hammers.

Doubtful against Brentford Aguerd (groin) has been dealing with an illness in addition to his injury concerns, making him a doubt versus Brentford on Friday. Manager David Moyes told reporters, "Nayef is sti...

Impact Aguerd made just one appearance for the club before leaving for the World Cup and now appears to have picked up another injury concern coming out of the international tournament. If he can ever manage to get healthy, Aguerd should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI but that prospect continues to seem further and further off.

Dealing with groin issue Aguerd (groin) is a doubt for Monday's trip to Arsenal, football.london report.

Impact Aguerd picked up the groin issue at the World Cup and failed to make an appearance in the third-place playoff. The defender has struggled with injury since joining West Ham and would be an especially big loss with Kurt Zouma (knee) out long-term after undergoing surgery.

Makes bench against Croatia Aguerd is in the match day squad to face Croatia on Saturday.

Impact Aguerd was always a doubt to start as he's not fully fit, but he is included in the Saturday's squad. It's unlikely he'll see the field, but technically is available if called upon.

World Cup 2022 odds: How to bet Croatia-Morocco third-place match

Still not fully fit Aguerd isn't fully fit going into Saturday's third-place game against Croatia, according to manager Walid Regragui.

Impact Aguerd missed Wednesday's semifinal loss to France as he was a late scratch from the lineup. Going into the final game of an exceptional tournament, it seems unlikely Aguerd will be risked. This gives Achraf Dari and Jawad El Yamiq the inside track on starting.

Morocco looks back at historic World Cup run with pride

Pulled from lineup Aguerd (thigh) has been removed from the starting XI and replaced by Achraf Dari, the FIFA site reports.

Impact Aguerd was slated to push through his injury, however, he decided to withdraw after warming up, making room for his teammate. He's on the bench.

In starting XI Aguerd (thigh) will feature in the starting XI versus France on Wednesday.

Impact Aguerd racked up 12 clearances, four tackles (two won) and four interceptions in his previous four World Cup outings. Against the prolific French attack, Aguerd could be pressed into action defensively, which should require him to make a large number of clearances.

Training despite illness Aguerd (hamstring) has trained Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's semifinal against France despite an illness, according to RMC Sport.

Impact Aguerd dealt with a hamstring issue that forced him out of Saturday's win over Portugal but he's done well to put himself in contention. There are a few questions to determine for the back line by Wednesday, though Aguerd and Romain Saiss are the top two options while Jawad El Yamiq and Achraf Dari are available if needed.

May play Wednesday Aguerd (thigh) is on the "right path" ahead of Wednesday's semifinal match against France, according to reporter Firzie A. Idris of Kompas.com.

Impact Aguerd missed Saturday's win over Portugal after picking up an injury late in the victory over Spain but may have enough time to recover for the biggest test yet. He or Jawad El Yamiq could start depending on how training goes by Wednesday.

Out for quarter-final Aguerd (thigh) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Portugal.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Aguerd, who suffered the injury late against Spain. He's one of two regulars missing on the back line for Morocco, which isn't a great start for Saturday's quarter-final. Jawad El Yamiq of Valladolid is getting the start in his place in a massive spot.

Will be game-time call Aguerd (thigh) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's quarterfinal against Portugal, according to manager Walid Regragui via Hanif Ben Berkane of Foot Mercato.

Impact Aguerd was considered unlikely to play Saturday for much of the week but is now handed a slim chance by the manager. He's started in all four matches until now and could be replaced by Jawad El Yamiq if needed.

Unlikely to play against Portugal Aguerd (thigh) is considered unlikely to play in Saturday's quarterfinal match against Portugal, according to Hanif Ben Berkane of Footmercato.

Impact Aguerd picked up the injury late into the win over Spain on penalties. As muscular injuries need a week or longer to recover at the least, he could return narrowly if Morocco can advance. In the absence of Aguerd, Jawad El Yamiq is a good candidate to start.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Walks off limping Aguerd was replaced by Jawad El Yamiq in the 84th minute of Tuesday's match against Spain due to injury.

Impact Aguerd didn't look comfortable when walking off the pitch, which could be a bad sign for an otherwise strong defensive unit. He'll hope to be back by Saturday's quarterfinal if his team can advance without him.

Own goal in win Aguerd had one tackle (one won), three clearances, and two interceptions in Thursday's 2-1 victory versus Canada.

Impact Aguerd scored an own-goal during Thursday's match, but it didn't end up being an issue as Morocco still came away with the win. The center-back played every single minute of the group stage and looks to be a crucial part of the back line heading into a tough round of 16 clash with Spain.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes three clearances Aguerd logged in three clearances and one interception in Wednesday's 0-0 tie versus Croatia.

Impact It was a silent match for Aguerd with just three clearances needed to help secure the clean sheet on Wednesday. He is Morocco's main defender and the main controller of the backline. The 26-year-old is projected to record twice as many clearances next game against the group favorites Belgium, which is also their toughest opponent thus far.

En-Nesyri in Morocco's World Cup squad despite goal drought

Starts in cup match Aguerd played for the full 90 in Wednesday's penalty loss to Blackburn Rovers in the League Cup.

Impact Aguerd has played in a couple of midweek matches over the last week since returning from an ankle injury that's kept him out all season. With a spot reserved in Morocco's team for the World Cup, Aguerd will look to recover as much fitness as he can over the next week even if he doesn't play in Saturday's match against Leicester City.

Returns to starting XI Aguerd (ankle) got the start at left-back during Thursday's Conference League clash against FCSB.

Impact Aguerd is back in the starting XI on Thursday, making his first start since picking up a long-term ankle injury. The defender was a doubt to get back in Premier League action before the World cup but was able to get onto the pitch Thursday and log a full 90 minutes, clearing the way for him to make his Premier League debut in a Sunday match against Crystal Palace.
