The absence of Moroccan star Hakim Ziyech from the matches against Gabon and Lesotho in the fifth and sixth rounds of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers has raised many questions. Ziyech, who recently recovered from an injury and played a few minutes with his club Galatasaray, was not called up for the Atlas Lions’ camp for the second consecutive time, sparking speculation about his future with the national team.
Is Ziyech’s absence due to technical reasons, or are there new directions in the team’s lineup? Does this indicate the end of his international career, or is there still a chance for his return in the future?
These questions worry fans of the Atlas Lions, especially since Ziyech is considered one of the key players who has contributed significantly to the national team in recent years.
It’s worth noting that the national team will face two tough matches against Gabon on Friday, November 15, 2024, in Franceville, and Lesotho on Monday, November 18, 2024, at the Honor Stadium in Oujda.
