Hassan Moumen Reveals Morocco Roster For Togo Matchup

The coach and his three assistants have settled on the squad for the upcoming clash.

Morocco
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has released a list of 23 players which Hassan Moumen and the rest of the team’s technical staff have selected to take part in the make-or-break World Cup qualifier against Togo on September 6.

The squad is not radically different from the one that tied the Democratic Republic of Congo two weeks ago in Rabat; however, one of the biggest surprises has to be the incorporation of Abdessalam Benjelloun at the expense of the in-form Nabil Baha.

Meanwhile, other call-ups that have baffled analysts and supporters alike are that of Amine Erbati, who is currently without a club and far from his best shape, as well as the recall of Youssef Safri despite his reputation for causing tension within the team - his training ground bust-up with Adel Taarabt prior to their first qualifier being a prime example.

Here is the team in full:

Goalkeepers: Karim Fegrouch (Wydad Casablanca), Nadir Lamyaghri (Wydad Casablanca), Khalid Askri (FAR Rabat)

Defenders:  Jamal Alioui (FC Sion), Aissam El Adoua (Lens), Mehdi Amine El Moutaoui (Clerment Foot), Amine Erbati (Al Wahda), Hicham Mahdoufi (Olympique Khouribga), Abdessalam Ouaddou (Nancy), Mohamed Oulhaj (Raja Casablanca)

Midfielders: Mbark Boussoufa (RC Anderlecht), Karim El Ahmadi Aroussi (Feynoord Rotterdam), Rachid Hamdani (Clerment Foot), Houssine Kherja (Genoa), Youssef Safri (Qatari), Adil Taarabt (QPR), Jaouad Zairi (Olympiakos), Merouane Zemmama (Hibernian)

Strikers: Mustapha Allaoui (Guingamp),  Abdessalam Benjelloun (Hebernian), Marouane Chamakh (Bordeaux), Mounir El Hamdaoui (AZ Alkmar), Youssef Hadji (Nancy)
