PSG wing-back Hakimi hopes Chelsea midfielder Ziyech makes Morocco return

PSG wing-back Achraf Hakimi hopes Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech will return to the Morocco team.

Both Ziyech and Ajax fullback Noussair Mazraoui were shunned for the African Cup of Nations after falling out with coach Vahid Halilhodzic.

For Hakimi, he hopes that the problems between the trio can be fixed.

He said, "Conflicts are things that can happen in selection. Things that need to be seen with the coach.

"What I want is for the best players to come and play for the national team. The door remains open to the best players available and willing to come. It will be good news for us, because it will be good for achieving our goals and above all for defending the colors of the country.

"In any case, if they wish to come, they will always be welcome."
