Morocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic has launched a stunning attack on Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech.

Halilhodzic has dumped Ziyech from his squad for Morocco's World Cup qualifiers this week after accusing the midfielder of feigning injury.

“Ziyech showed no discipline in the last two games," said Halilhodzic. “He didn't look like a player competing with the national team for World Cup qualifiers.

"For the first time in my career I saw a player in the national team who doesn't want to train and pretends to be injured. Although tests have shown that he can play.

"I will not tolerate this behavior as long as I am the national coach of Morocco."
