Chelsea midfielder, Hakim Ziyech, has announced a sudden retirement from international football.
His decision followed the refusal of the Moroccan national team to invite him for the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Morocco head coach, Vahid Halilhodžić, had accused the midfielder of faking an injury to get out of playing in a friendly game for his country.
Ziyech has not played for Morocco since June and has now made himself unavailable for the foreseeable future.
“Obviously, I understand them but I will not return to the national team,” Ziyech said
