Moroccan Star Amine Harit Omitted from National Team Amid Discipline Concerns

While the on-field performances of the Moroccan player do not lie (5 goals and 2 assists in 10 games), his behavior, on the other hand, seems to be a problem.

According to a source close to the selection, the Atlas Lion was not ignored for sporting reasons. The Bosnian coach actually intends to clarify all this during a press conference, the same source tells France Football, justifying this absence rather by reasons related to discipline.

"But beyond that, Vahid Halilhodzic is there to restore order. He wants to be demanding. He may seem tough. Yes, he is, but he is above all fair," notes the same source.

As for the Franco-Moroccan, elected best player of the Bundesliga for the month of September, he responded to this decision with a mockery. "Lol," he had written on his Instagram account to react to this situation.

It should be recalled that, often summoned for all the friendly matches of the national team, Amine Harit is not among the 24 players called up for the 2021 CAN qualifying matches against Mauritania on November 15 and Burundi on November 19.
