Atlas Lion Hakim Ziyech was reportedly included in the preliminary squad list ahead of Morocco’s upcoming matches against Gabon and Lesotho, before coach Walid Regragui later excluded from the final roster.
Speculation had surrounded Ziyech’s exclusion from the closing AFCON qualifiers, attributed to two main factors: his prolonged absence from competitive matches and a recent social media post showing his solidarity with the Palestinian cause and criticizing the Moroccan government, which stirred controversy.
Hesport sources clarified that Ziyech’s exclusion was due solely to fitness reasons, citing his recent absence from competition due to injury, coupled with limited playing time with his current club, Galatasaray.
