Zakaria El Ouahdi, the wing-back of K.R.C. Genk, was removed from a flight to the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. According to the Moroccan Hespress, the reason is an investigation into his family and their appearance. It would be an investigation into the family of El Ouahdi, including his father, who is also his agent. The beard of El Ouahdi's father would have raised some questions. It is reported by MWN that this has not been verified, but that the news has caused a lot of alarm bells to ring around appearance, religion and family background. Meanwhile, the problems of El Ouahdi are behind him. That was confirmed by his agent and father Mohamed Achahbar to VoetbalPrimeur.be. On Thursday at 15:00, the player of K.R.C. Genk will fly to his fellow countrymen. El Ouahdi is an important player for K.R.C. Genk and his absence will probably have an impact on the team's performance. The club will probably have to find a replacement to compensate for El Ouahdi's absence.
