Chelsea star Ziyech omitted from Morocco squad due to 'unacceptable behaviour', confirms head coach Halilhodzic

The national team boss has called out the winger for his poor conduct during their last set of friendly matches in June

Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech has been omitted from the latest Morocco squad due to "unacceptable behaviour", the country's head coach Vahid Halilhodzic has confirmed.

Ziyech has won 41 caps for Morocco since making his international debut in 2015, with his last outing coming in the 1-0 friendly victory over Burkina Faso on June 12.

The Chelsea winger also appeared from the bench in a 1-0 win against Ghana four days earlier, but he was not included in Halilhodzic's latest squad for World Cup qualifiers against Sudan and Guinea.
