Is Hakim Ziyech fit enough to play for Morocco? Apparently, opinions differ widely.
Morocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic has sharply criticized Hakim Ziyech. The offensive player from Chelsea FC simulates an injury: “For the first time in my coaching career I have seen an international who does not want to train and claims he is injured even though tests have shown that he can play,” Halilhodzic grumbled at a press conference Morocco’s game against Sudan on Thursday.
The 69-year-old Bosnian was referring to Ziyech’s most recent shoulder injury. He had to be substituted in the European Supercup against Villarreal and then missed the opening game of the Blues in the Premier League against Crystal Palace.
Morocco: Hakim Ziyech was fit enough for Chelsea FC
Ziyech celebrated his comeback against Arsenal on August 22nd. The 28-year-old was also in the squad last weekend at the Knaller at Liverpool. Still, he didn’t want to play for Morocco.
In any case, at the last two meetings of the Moroccan national team, Ziyech did not present himself as a player “who is fighting with the national team to qualify for the World Cup,” said Halilhodzic: “I will not tolerate this behavior as long as I am coach of Morocco. “
