While Nordin Amrabat has just been excluded from the list of selected players, Abderrazak Hamdallah is returning in great pomp to his Saudi club, "Al Nasr". Indeed, the latter has seen his salary double for the remainder of his contract until 2021.
It seems that the performance of the "Atlas Lions" at the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) in Egypt has worked against them. After Karim Al Ahmadi and Younes Belhanda, it is now Nordin Amrabat’s turn to be sidelined by his club.
Nordin Amrabat was again impressive yesterday, Friday, June 28, 2019, during the match between the Moroccan team and the Côte d’Ivoire team, for the second day of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN).
While he continues to impress everywhere he goes, Hakim Ziyech has just been praised by his national team teammate Nordin Amrabat who, in passing, explains that Ziyech’s evolution is partly due to national coach Hervé Renard.
The alleged misunderstanding between the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and the Saudi club Al Nasr has once again been refuted by the coach of the Atlas Lions of Morocco. For Hervé Renard , it is nothing more than a false rumor.
The Al-Nasr club would have decided to send Nordin Amrabat to Portugal so that his injury can be examined by a specialist. This is information that bodes nothing good for the Moroccan player.
The Saudi club Al-Nasr would have in a very official and somewhat tactless way warned FIFA that Nordin Amrabat should not play in the friendly match against Argentina on March 26 in Tangier. It is (indirectly and "more directly") asking the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) not to line him up.
