Ouaddou stands firm over protecting Orlando Pirates star Appollis
The 25-year-old came on as a 65th minute substitute as the defending champions beat Sekhukhune United to advance to the Carling Knockout Cup semi-finals.
Appollis has featured in 14 matches domestically this season but is yet to play for a full 90 minutes, with seven starts so far, scoring twice and providing three assists.
Moroccan head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has been vocal about his desire to protect his prized attacker following a gruelling calender year for the player, which included his participation at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
"With some players, you have to be careful, and I've mentioned this before," said Ouaddou after defeating Sekhukhune.
"If you follow international football, Luis Enrique at Paris Saint-Germain decided to rest [Achraf] Hakimi until January.
"That [minimizing Appollis gametime] was an internal decision based on performance data showing he needed rest to avoid injury risks."
The 48-year-old also pointed out their recent injury concerns to Kamogelo Sebelebele and Evidence Makgopa as reasons for their cautious approach with the Western Cape born winger.
"We've seen severe injuries across other teams as well. We have to be smart. When you have a diamond like Appollis, you must anticipate burnout, especially when a player shows signs of fatigue," added Ouaddou.
The former Polokwane City attacker will turn his attention to Bafana Bafana's upcoming back-to-back 2027 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Kenya during the international break.
