Morocco national team coach Ouahbi has called up Ilias Akhomach for the upcoming international window, according to reports. The 22-year-old winger, who plays his club football for Villarreal, has been included in the squad as Morocco continues its preparations for major tournaments.
Meanwhile, the availability of Brahim Diaz remains uncertain. The Real Madrid attacker, who has been a key figure for the Atlas Lions, is reportedly dealing with an injury or fitness concern that could rule him out of the upcoming matches. The Moroccan federation has not yet issued an official statement on his status.
Akhomach's call-up represents an opportunity for the young player to stake his claim in the national team setup. He has previously represented Spain at youth levels but committed to Morocco in 2023. His inclusion adds depth to Morocco's attacking options as the team looks to build on its historic 2022 World Cup semi-final run.
Further details on Diaz's condition and the full squad list are expected to be confirmed by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation in the coming days.
