Noussair Mazraoui and Hakim Ziyech have again been excluded from Morocco’s national selection by national coach Vahid Halilhodzic. The trainer also left the two of Ajax and Chelsea out of the selection in the previous two international matches because he was dissatisfied with their mentality, he said in firm terms at the end of September. Mazraoui and Ziyech are missing from the World Cup qualifiers against Sudan and Guinea this month.

Halilhodzic showed that the right back and winger did not have to count on a quick return to the national team. He keeps his word, because he hasn’t changed his mind. Without Mazraoui and Ziyech, Morocco qualified for the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup last month. With a 1-4 victory over Guinea, the North African country has collected twelve points from four games, making the group win with two games left. ahead.

In addition to Mazraoui and Ziyech, Abdou Harroui is also missing from Halilhodzic’s selection. The Sassuolo midfielder made his debut in the Moroccan selection last month. He did not play that international period and was not called up this time. NEC back Souffian El Karouani seems to have made a better impression. He made his debut for Morocco last month and has now been invited again. Morocco will play against Sudan on November 12, followed four days later by the duel with Guinea.
