Pan-Africa Football has been covering the story of whether Chelsea attacker Hakim Ziyech will be returning to the Morocco national team fold or not for the Atlas Lions’ campaign at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) chief Fouzi Lekjaa made his feelings clear. Lekjaa stated that the “doors of the national team are open to all Moroccan players, regardless of their differences” during a board meeting this week, making it plain to see that the FRMF would like Ziyech to return.
BBC Sport Africa has more on the history of the cold relationship between Ziyech and current Morocco manager Vahid Halilhodžić as a climactic meeting approaches between Lekjaa and the Bosnian coach.
