Marseille Defender Nayef Aguerd Has Groin Surgery, Starts Rehab

A return before the end of the season remains uncertain given typical recovery timelines.

Overview

  • Aguerd underwent surgery on March 12 to treat a persistent pubalgia after months of symptoms.
  • OM coach Habib Beye reported the procedure went well, with rehabilitation now under the club’s medical staff.
  • The defender has endured daily groin pain since October 2025 despite multiple care protocols.
  • Olympique de Marseille and Morocco’s medical teams coordinated rest and treatment, and he still played all seven home AFCON matches.
  • Aguerd thanked teammates and set a goal of a pain-free late-season return, though reports note that timeline is difficult.
