Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou returns to the Morocco XI for Thursday's World Cup game with Canada in Doha.

Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou has returned to the Morocco XI for Thursday's World Cup game with Canada at the Al Thumama Stadium.

Despite being named in the starting lineup against Belgium, Bounou did not take his place between the sticks at kickoff, boss Walid Regragui stating that his number one "felt unsteady" before the game and was carrying a knock.

However, four days on from one of the greatest results in the nation's history, the Sevilla goalkeeper returns in place of Munir Mohamedi.

The other alteration sees Abdelhamid Sabiri, who set up the first goal in the 2-0 win over Belgium, replace Selim Amallah.

Meanwhile, Canada boss John Herdman has reverted to a back three and made four changes to the team which started the 4-1 defeat to Croatia.

Sam Adekugbe, Jonathan Osorio, Mark-Anthony Kaye and Junior Hoilett have all been selected in the Maple Leafs side.

Richie Laryea, Atiba Hutchinson, Stephen Eustaquio and Jonathan David are the players to drop out.

Canada: Borjan; Johnston, Vitoria, Miller; Adekugbe, Osorio, Kaye, Davies; Buchanan, Larin, Hoilett

Morocco: Bounou; Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Mazraoui; Ounahi, Amrabat, Sabiri; Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Boufal
