Rulani Mokwena's Wydad Casablanca have had a certain request rejected ahead of the Casablanca derby against Raja Athletic on Saturday.
Wydad will be aiming to bounce back from their surprise Throne Cup exit last weekend when they take on their cross-town rivals on Saturday evening.

The clash will take place at Mohammed V Complex and it is now being reported by Lesiteinfo that the Red Castle wanted to hold their final practice at the venue.
However, the Moroccan publication revealed that Wydad's request has been rejected as Raja would also need to be allowed to train at the venue.
Wydad, meanwhile, have not claimed a win in the Casablanca Derby since 23 October 2022.
Mokwena's charges currently sit third on the Botola Pro League table, two points adrift of AS FAR Rabat who occupy the final CAF Champions League spot.
