Morocco's historic World Cup win against Portugal was marred by an injury to talismanic defender Romain Saiss, who may have to miss the semi-final on Wednesday.
The Moroccan skipper was in tears as he was taken off the field on a stretcher 13 minutes into The Atlas Lions' 1-0 victory over the 2016 European champions on Saturday.
Youssef En-Nesyri's header late in the first half was the difference at the Al Thumama Stadium, as 10-man Morocco became the first African side in history to qualify for the semi-finals of a World Cup.
