However, his progression in the L’OM team has been severely hampered by a broken toe, which he suffered while on international duty for Morocco against Brazil which means he will now miss the next two months of action and effectively ends his season prematurely.
Ounahi will undergo rehabilitation on his toe, which he should be able to complete in time for the resumption of the 2023/24 campaign barring any unfortunate set backs in his recovery journey.
