Ez Abde was back in action for Morocco on Tuesday night at the Under-23 AFCON despite speculation Barcelona didn’t really want him to play.
It was reported ahead of the game that Barca were hoping he’d skip the match because they did not want him to pick up an injury.
Sport have claimed an agreement was reached before kick-off for Abde to play, as the winger once again captained the side.
Abde was quickly involved in the action too, picking up an assist for the opening goal after just six minutes of the clash against Ghana.
