Schalke 04 midfielder has withdrawn from Morocco's last qualifying match for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations against Malawi and friendly match against Argentina, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation have confirmed.
Harit suffered an ankle injury in training on March 15 and is yet to recover from the damage as the Atlas Lions commence preparation for their upcoming matches against the Flames on March 22 and Lionel Scaloni's side four days later.
The injury ruled the midfielder out of Schalke's 1-0 loss to RB Leipzig last Saturday and he is now expected to sit out of the two encounters, making him the second player to opt out of this month's national assignment after Ajax star Hakim Ziyech.
