Morocco’s In-Form Striker Tissoudali Left Off AFCON Squad, Expresses Disappointment

In great form currently with his club with 16 goals, the striker was not called up by coach Vahid Halilhodzic. He is not happy and has made it known.

In an interview with the local media Het Laatste Nieuws, Tissoudali said: "I have mixed feelings about this. I’m a bit disappointed, but on the other hand, I’m also happy not to be missing anything here in Ghent."

Regarding the major absentees from this list, such as Ziyech and Mazraoui, Tissoudali explained: "I think they have already had a conflict with the coach, so they were not selected. But in my case, I think he just prefers someone else to my work. I feel like I could have been more useful than some of the selected players."
