International duties come to an end for four homegrown players

En-Nesyri and Hicham, with Morocco’s U-23s, both had minutes yesterday in Senegal, whilst Robles and Fernández concluded their adventure with Spain’s U-19s.

Youssef En-Nesyri and Hicham Boussefiane were again in action in an international friendly in Senegal against the host team, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw for the Under-23s. The first team striker played the entire match, whilst the reserve team winger joined play in the final stage of the tight clash.

Álex Robles and Álvaro Fernández, on the other hand, didn’t take part in the last Elite Round qualifier for the U-19 European Championships. Spain lost to France by 2-4 and will therefore not be part of the competition taking place in Finland.

In addition, Abdel Abqar joined Morocco’s U-20s yesterday, Monday in Rabat. The juvenil defender has been called-up for the first Africa Cup qualifier of the category, between Morocco (first leg, Saturday 31th March) and Mauritania.
