Ali in Morocco squad

NAC Breda striker Ali Boussboun has been named in Morocco's squad.

NAC Breda striker Ali Boussboun has been named in Morocco's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier with Guinea.

Boussboun pledged his allegiance to Morocco at the turn of the year and coach Badou Ezaki wasted little time in handing him his first call up.

Charlton Athletic defender Talal El Karkouri has earned a recall, after missing the recent clash with Kenya due to suspension, but Norwich City midfielder Youssef Safri misses out.

Morocco sit at the top of Group Five and a win over second placed Guinea will boost their hopes of progressing from the African Zone.

Squad:
Tarek Jarmouni (Royal Armed Forces), Nadir Lamyaghri (Wydad Casablanca), Khalid Sinouh (RKC Waalwik); Talal El Karkouri (Charlton Athletic), El Amin Erbate (Raja Casablanca), Noureddine Naybet (Tottenham), Abdelslam Ouaddou (Rennes), Walid Regragui (Racing Santander); Mounir Diane (Lens), Badr El Kaddouri (Dynamo Kiev), Noureddine Kacemi (Istres), Houssine Kharja (Ternana), Tajeddine Sami (Raja Casablanca), Mohamed Yaacoubi (Osasuna); Yassine Abdessaki (Strasbourg), Abdelhak Ait El Arif (Wydad Casablanca), Abdelaziz Ahanfouf (MSV Duisburg), Ali Boussabon (NAC Breda), Nourdine Boukhari (Ajax Amsterdam), Marouane Chamakh (Bordeaux), Youssef Hadji (Bastia), Tarik Sektioui (AZ Alkmaar), Jawad Zairi (Sochaux).
