Belahyane returns to Morocco squad for upcoming AFCON qualifiers

Belahyane returns to Morocco squad for upcoming AFCON qualifiers

The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for Serie A log leaders Lazio after injuries to key players Nicolo Rovella and Dani Cataldi.

He had struggled to cement his position in the Italian side since joining the club from Serie B outfit Hellas Verona, with previous coaches Marco Baroni and Marizio Sarri.

Belahyane has made ten appearances in all competitions for the Rome based club this season under the leadership of manager Gennaro Gattusso before his call-up by Morocco head coach Mohamed Ouahbi.

The youngster will now be looking to add to his solitary previous cap for the Atlas Lions under previous national team manager Walid Regragui when his nation faces Niger in back-to-back qualifiers next week. 

Full Morocco Squad:

Goalkeepers: Yassine Bounou, Munir El Kajoui, Ahmed Reda Tagnaouti, Alaa Bellaarouch.

Defenders: Noussair Mazraoui, Anass Salah-Eddine, Souffian El Karouani, Nayef Aguerd, Redouane Halhal, Issa Diop, Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal, Achraf Hakimi, Ali Maamar.

Midfielders: Ayyoub Bouaddi, Neil El Aynaoui, Reda Belahyane, Amine Sbai, Abdellah Ouazane, Oussama Targhalline, Bilal El Khannouss
