FIFA have blasted the Moroccan FA for putting the health of Nordin Amrabat at risk by allowing him to play against Portugal despite suffering concussion.
Watford star Amrabat turned out in the Group B clash with Portugal yesterday just five days after being hospitalised after suffering a bad head injury.
Morocco ignored Fifa concussion protocols which state players cannot play for at least six days after such an impact on the head.
Amrabat started the 1-0 defeat in Moscow wearing a scrum cap, but soon discarded it to play without any protection.And now Fifa have written to the Moroccan FA to give them answers why they ingored vital safety precautions and defied the regulations.
A Fifa spokesperson said: “FIFA takes its responsibility with regards to the issue of concussions very seriously.
