Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech is not on the list of Walid Regragui, national coach, for the matches against the Central African Republic, counting for the third and fourth days of the African qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations (CAN Morocco) . Is he excluded from the Atlas Lions squad?
The absence of Hakim Ziyech from the list leaves room for several interpretations. The comments are going well. Some Moroccan Internet users believe that this absence is linked to the player’s recent publication and his firm stance against the genocide in Gaza. In a post on his Instagram account, the Moroccan midfielder expressed his disappointment at the end of September after watching a video posted on social networks showing Israeli soldiers shooting down a young Palestinian, before throwing his corpse from the roof of the building. “Let’s get one thing straight…!! Damn Israel and all countries that support this type of behavior. Freedom for Palestine. “, he demanded.

The Moroccan international did not refrain from openly criticizing the Moroccan government for its silence on the “genocide” underway in the Gaza Strip. “My message is also for the Government of our own country which supports the genocide. Shame on you, enough is enough,” he added. Other Moroccan Internet users consider his absence natural, because he lacks competitiveness. They say he only returned to training with Galatasaray this week, after more than three weeks away due to injury. He should follow a special program taking place in the Turkish club’s gym and in group training, under the supervision of the team’s physical trainer.

The absence of other players like Achraf Dari, Yahya Attiat-Allah and Amine Harit also caused Internet users to react. They are surprised that Harit is sidelined even though he is performing well with his club, Olympique de Marseille. They also criticized the summons of Youssef En-Nesyri who is going through a worrying period of poor form with his club, Fenerbahçe, and whose level is well known to the technical staff and the public. They wonder why Regragui called on him when he could have given the chance to new players like Amine El Ouazzani.
