After receiving first aid on the pitch, the 33-year-old striker was unable to continue and was carried off on a stretcher, receiving applause from supporters at the Panthessaliko Stadium.
The exact nature and severity of the injury have yet to be determined, with medical examinations expected to establish how long El Kaabi could be sidelined.
The injury could also cast doubt over his availability for Morocco’s next training camp at the end of September, when the Atlas Lions are due to play two 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
