    "body": "<p>After thorough research, the RSC Anderlecht striker Tawfik Bentayeb was deemed medically fit to join the Moroccan selection.</p><p>Bentayeb had opened the scoring during Saturday night&#039;s game against Zulte-Waregem, won 3-0 by RSC Anderlecht. A little later, he found himself involved in an intense duel with Laurent Lemoine just as he was delivering the assist for the second goal. Struck in the face, he had to give up his place. As a precaution, he was taken to the emergency room where, after a few hours of observation, the examinations proved reassuring. Bentayeb was able to leave the hospital at 2 a.m.</p><p>His call-up to the Moroccan national team is therefore not compromised, and Bentayeb is authorized to make the trip.</p><p>In compliance with FIFA&#039;s medical protocol for a concussion he will have to follow an individual recovery program over the next 7 to 10 days. He will only be operational for the Moroccan team after this period and will not play in Friday&#039;s first match.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
