World Cup 2022: Hakim Ziyech in Morocco squad with selection row settled

Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has been included in Morocco's squad for the World Cup in Qatar, two months after ending his 15-month exile from the national team.

But new coach Walid Regragui wasted little time in recalling Ziyech and started him in his first two games in charge, against Chile and Paraguay in September.

Fit-again West Ham defender Nayef Aguerd is also included in the squad alongside Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi and Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui.

However, Spain-born Munir El Haddadi, who battled a five-year international eligibility saga to play for the North Africans, has been overlooked.
