Massina was injured in the match against Fiorentina in the fourth stage of the Italian League on 31 August last year.
Massina’s absence from the World Cup in Qatar is considered the second painful blow to the Moroccan national team after the confirmation of the absence of Gent striker Tarik Tisudali due to an injury he suffered in August last year after his team’s match against Saint-Trondin in the local league.
Masina, 28, joined Udinese in the latest summer transfers from Watford, England, after signing a 3-year deal ending in summer 2025.
