Starts in group stage finale

Salah-Eddine registered two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-2 win against Haiti.

Analysis: Salah-Eddine would get the start Wednesday as Morocco closed out group stage play, with the defender starting at left-back over Noussair Mazraoui. He would earn a few crosses and a few tackles, but not too much to impress, as two goals allowed was a bit of let down. He should return to the bench as the knockout stages start.

Available on bench

Salah-Eddine (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Brazil.

Analysis: Salah-Eddine returns to the bench for Saturday's clash after overcoming a knock. The defender is only going to be a bench option with Noussair Mazraoui fit and available. Salah-Eddine could see some minutes depending how the group stage plays out, but it's unlikely he plays anything more than a depth role at this World Cup.

Should return Saturday

Salah-Eddine (undisclosed) appears to be cleared for Saturday's opener against Brazil, according to manager Mohamed Ouahbi, per Chaimae Bouaichi of Morocco World News. "All players are ready and can play."

Analysis: Salah-Eddine went down during training but is already back up and looks to be fully functional for the team's opener. He is more than likely to start on the bench, although he has an outside chance of starting if Noussair Mazraoui (shoulder) sits out or starts on the bench due to his injury. Either way, this is a solid addition of depth for the team.

Expected to be available

Salah-Eddine (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Brazil, according to Arryadia TV.

Analysis: The left-back was dealing with an undisclosed injury earlier in the week, but he returned to group training Thursday and should be available for the weekend's opener against Brazil. Salah-Eddine might have an outside chance to start if Noussair Mazraoui (shoulder) isn't 100 percent fit.
