Moroccan standout Ismael Saibari has suffered a significant setback. Bayern Munich's newest signing was forced off the field after just twenty minutes in the round of 16 clash against Canada, leading to intense emotions from Saibari.

Saibari enjoyed a dream start to the World Cup, netting three goals in three matches and converting the winning penalty against the Netherlands. However, the round of 16 brought a significant setback. In the twentieth minute, the former PSV player suddenly collapsed after a sprint. The midfielder clutched his hamstring and was unable to continue, a major blow for the Moroccan squad.
