Mohamed Ouahbi, the new coach of the Moroccan football team, which won fourth place at the last World Cup, announced the list of players traveling to the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA.
The biggest surprise is that the 28-year-old forward Youssef En-Nesyri, who has been the best Moroccan footballer in recent years, is not in the squad.
The former striker of Sevilla and Fenerbahce, and today a member of Al-Ittihad, was also the leader of the team that won fourth place at the last World Cup, and was also an important link at this year’s African Cup of Nations.
Hakim Ziyech, the former star of Ajax and Chelsea, who during his career scored 25 goals in 64 appearances for the Moroccan national team, is not on the list.
On the list is Nayef Aguerd from Marseille who has not played for the last three months and is still not fully recovered from his injury.
Four years ago, Morocco was defeated in the match for third place by Croatia with 1-2, and this year they will be in Group C, where Brazil, Scotland and Haiti are also present.
In the premiere, Morocco will play against Brazil on June 14 in New Jersey.
