With no City connections in Groups A or B, we begin in Group C where Bilal El Khannouss, who is on his way to VfB Stuttgart after spending the 2025/26 season on loan in Germany, started on the left for Morocco in their impressive opening 1-1 draw with Brazil.
The attacking midfielder more than played his part in the lively Atlas Lions front line. Morocco are next in action on Friday night at 11pm against Scotland.
Former Foxes forward George Hirst, now at Ipswich, watched from the bench as his Scotland side kicked off their first World Cup since 1998 with a 1-0 win against Haiti.
Leicester-born forward Che Adams started up top for Steve Clarke’s side, for whom John McGinn’s deflected strike was enough to take maximum points, and a huge step towards the last 32.
