Overview
- Moroccan national-team doctors examined El Aynaoui and determined he was not in optimal condition to play, prompting his early departure from the training camp.
- The player was sent home in coordination with RB Leipzig after arriving at camp with ankle and lower-leg problems, and the federation said he will miss the upcoming Africa Cup qualifying matches.
- RB Leipzig described the issue as light lower-leg problems and called the move a precaution, while saying it does not currently expect a long-term absence.
- El Aynaoui will undergo a more detailed medical assessment by RB Leipzig’s medical staff once he returns to the club, with no firm timeline yet for his comeback.
- The 25-year-old is on a one-year loan from AS Roma with a reported purchase option near €25 million, making his fitness relevant to both Morocco’s squad plans and Leipzig’s short-term selection and transfer decisions.
