Fenerbahce target Belhanda fit for Afcon

Spurs and Fenerbahce target Younes Belhanda is fit to play for Morocco in the African Cup of Nations after his thigh injury was confirmed as not serious.

The Moroccan playmaker was forced to miss out on the team’s international warm-up fixture against Namibia on Saturday afternoon in order to undergo tests to determine the severity of his latest injury.

Fears that he may not be able to compete in the tournament have now been cancelled out after it was confirmed that the player suffered a ‘small elongation’ to his adductor muscle.

Belhanda should be fit to continue with the squad following an official statement from medic Abdelrrazak Hifti.

"Belhanda had a medical test that showed his injury was not dangerous and he will back to train with the entire team next Tuesday. He will be ready for our match against Angola,” he told the Moroccan Football Federation’s website.
