Algeria Football – Critical of the Moroccan government because of Palestine, Hakim Ziyech is ejected from the selection by the King.
In a context marked by the controversy surrounding Hakim Ziyech, the coach of the Atlas Lions, Walid Regragui, decided to call on Zakaria Aboukhlal to replace the Galatasaray winger, excluded from the selection due to his criticism towards the government of Morocco and its commitment to Palestine. This decision demonstrates Regragui’s desire to renew its squad for the next matches, an essential step as Morocco prepares to take on new challenges on the international scene.
Toulouse FC striker Aboukhlal returns to the national team after a prolonged absence due to injuries and loss of form. However, his recent performances in Ligue 1, notably his double in the victory against Montpellier, suggest a renewed confidence. This return to form is particularly timely for the Moroccan attack, which is looking to strengthen itself before upcoming competitions.
The final list of selected players will be revealed by Regragui in the second week of November, marking the start of a preparation course at the Mohammed VI football complex in Maâmora. The Atlas Lions, with new assets, hope to successfully face the next challenges, in particular their trip to Libreville.
