RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Morocco has added uncapped winger Anass Zaroury to its World Cup squad to replace the injured Amine Harit. Harit was taken off the field by stretcher with a left knee injury on Sunday playing in the French league for Marseille. The 22-year-old Zaroury plays for second-tier team Burnley in England and has scored five goals in 13 games this season. He previously represented Belgium at youth level and could make his first appearance for Morocco in Qatar. Morocco begins its World Cup campaign against 2018 runner-up Croatia on Nov. 23 before facing 2018 semifinalist Belgium and Canada.
