Overview
- Walid Regragui said Igamane has torn his cruciate ligaments and could miss around six months, with further tests to come.
- The injury rules the 23-year-old out of Scotland’s World Cup group match in Boston and, as reported, the tournament, while sidelining Lille’s £10m in-form striker with 11 Ligue 1 goals.
- Regragui acknowledged he gambled on the forward’s return after a Marseille injury, with medical staff clearing him for the latter stages of the competition.
- Igamane started the final in Rabat but left in tears early in extra time, leaving Morocco with 10 men before Pape Gueye scored the winner for Senegal.
- The match descended into disorder after a VAR-awarded late penalty involving Brahim Diaz, a brief Senegal walk-off, and a saved Panenka when play restarted.
