  • Moroccan international player Nayef Aguerd has returned to collective training with French club Olympique Marseille.
  • Aguerd had been sidelined due to a thigh injury sustained last season, which also prevented him from participating in the 2026 World Cup with the Moroccan national team.
  • His return is seen as a significant boost for Marseille as they prepare for the new season, though his future with the club remains a subject of speculation.

Moroccan international defender Nayef Aguerd has rejoined his teammates for collective training sessions at French club Olympique Marseille. The club announced the 30-year-old defender's return to preparations at the "Robert Louis-Dreyfus" center following his recovery from a thigh injury.

The injury had kept Aguerd off the field for several months. His last appearance was in a French Cup quarter-final match against Toulouse on March 4th. The injury not only impacted his club season but also led to his absence from the Moroccan national team squad for the 2026 World Cup finals.

Aguerd's comeback is considered a substantial reinforcement for Olympique Marseille as they gear up for the upcoming season. Despite his return to training, questions linger about his long-term future with the club, even though his contract is set to run until June 30, 2030.

During the 2025-2026 season, Aguerd played in 22 matches for Olympique Marseille, receiving five yellow cards. His market value is estimated at around 15 million euros, according to Transfermarkt.
