Wydad Casablanca head coach Adil Ramzi says the team remains motivated after losing Yahya Jabrane ahead of the African Football League final against Mamelodi Sundowns.
The midfielder completed the full 90 minutes in Casablanca last weekend but will play no part in the second leg due to suspension after an accumulation of yellow cards.

The Wydad tactician says Jabrane is an important player for the team but says he is looking at the entire squad.
"Jabrane is a very important player for us and that is why we have carried him to motivate the rest of the squad," Ramzi said, as per AFL.Africa.
"However, for me as a coach iam looking at the whole group and not just one player.
"This is a big match and every player is motivated to play. We will do our best to win this trophy," he concluded.
Despite winning the first leg last weekend, Ramzi insists his side cannot take things lightly at Loftus Versfeld.
"It is a big game and being the last one, every one wants to win. We won 2-1 in the first leg which was a good result for us. However, it is still 50/50 chance for either team to win," he added.
