At Ramabudi Stadium in Rocklands, Morocco trained two days before Tuesday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho. The session took place in Bloemfontein.

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation said the squad worked on technical and tactical preparations. Everyone took part.

Morocco opened its qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win over Gabon, according to ESPN's match record.

Nayef Aguerd did not travel to South Africa. He is continuing his rehabilitation programme at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Maâmora with the technical staff of Morocco's under-23 team. YSScores and Morocco World News also reported his status.

Aguerd remains in contention for Ghana friendly

Aguerd remains available to the senior national team for its friendly against Ghana. The match is scheduled for 4 October in Tangier.

Reuters identifies the Lesotho-Morocco match as the second round of Group A in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. The fixture is scheduled for 29 September at Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.

Morocco lead Group A after opening round

Morocco lead the group with three points and a goal difference of +2. Niger also have three points, with a +1 goal difference. Lesotho and Gabon have no points. Morocco's 2-0 win over Gabon put them ahead of Niger on goal difference.

The match against Lesotho is scheduled for Tuesday 29 September at Free State Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein. Kick-off is listed as 15:00 local time and 13:00 GMT. Reuters and ESPN list the same kick-off time.

Morocco have an early lead to protect. The result will shape the Group A standings, and the team has prepared without Aguerd in South Africa.
