Abde has made eight appearances this season in La Liga for Osasuna, picking up two assists, although he did not feature last time out when Barca were the visitors at El Sadar.
Barcelona are thought to rate the 20-year-old highly and ensured he signed a contract extension that runs until 2026, and includes a €200 million buyout clause, before he left for Osasuna in the summer.
Morocco have been drawn in Group F at the World Cup and will take on Belgium, Canada, and Croatia for a place in the knockout stages.
Abde made his senior debut for Morocco in a friendly against Chile back in September after speculation he was going to change allegiance to Spain. The winger had previously played for the Morocco Under-20s, but has dual nationality, and did ultimately commit to the Atlas Lions.
