Morocco’s national team coach, Walid Regragui, clarified the reason behind Hakim Ziyech’s absence from the upcoming matches against Gabon and Lesotho.

Regragui said during a press conference on Tuesday that there are no issues between him and Ziyech, stating that his exclusion was a technical decision due to the player’s current lack of fitness.

“Ziyech is not ready now, and when I made the list, he had only played 20 minutes after returning from injury,” Regragui noted, emphasizing that Ziyech must fully regain his fitness before rejoining the national squad.
