Many Moroccan fans are questioning Hakim Ziyech’s absence from the national team’s squad for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Gabon and Lesotho, despite his recovery from injury. Fans expressed their surprise on social media, wondering why the Galatasaray star wasn’t included.

Some supporters have called for the inclusion of Zakaria Aboukhlal (Toulouse) and Amine Harit (Marseille), both of whom have been performing well in Ligue 1. There is also criticism over the selection of four goalkeepers in the squad, with many suggesting that one should be replaced by a player from another position.

Additionally, the exclusion of Mehdi Boukhamir, who impressed in the 2024 Paris Olympics, has raised questions, as fans believe he could strengthen the defense.

The Moroccan team will face Gabon on November 15 in Franceville, followed by Lesotho on November 18 in Oujda.
