Youssef En-Nesyri makes his big return to the Atlas Lions. The player had not been called up since Mohamed Ouahbi was appointed as coach.

Ouahbi justified this choice in a press conference. "I have to be honest with him," he said, without giving further details on the reasons for the previous absence.

Morocco faces Niger on November 13 and 17 in qualifiers. En-Nesyri should get playing time to prove his worth.
