Hakim Ziyech is on the verge of a major fallout with Morocco after a war of words with his manager... from Nicolas Anelka's expletive half-time OUTBURST to Roy Keane's disgraceful dismissal, here is what happens when players feud with their countries

Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech was ruthlessly excluded from Morocco's latest squad earlier this week because he held the group 'hostage' by refusing to play in a friendly, according to boss Vahid Halilhodzic.

It was a stunning omission by the Morocco boss for this latest international break given the midfielder is the country's most accomplished footballer at this time having just won the Champions League with Chelsea.

However, Ziyech isn't the first to sensationally clash with his country as strained relationships between national coaches and players have provided many infamous bust-ups on the international stage over the years.
