The soap opera, with emails and appeals to FIFA, is over. The player will see the match against Fabregas’ team from the retreat of the North African national team which will open the Africa Cup of Nations against Comoros on the 21st
Morocco won, as had been feared for a few days in Trigoria. Neil El Aynaoui will not be there tonight against Como and will watch the decisive match for the Champions League directly from the North African national team’s retreat. A soap opera that ended badly with emails and appeals to FIFA by both the Federation and the Giallorossi club. But if for Ndicka, Roma had managed to convince the Ivory Coast, for the midfielder there was nothing to do given that Morocco will open the Africa Cup of Nations on 21 December against the Comoros and deemed it appropriate to have all the players available from today.
THE DECISION
—
A measure of judgment that the Moroccan national team also adopted for four other players who would have been used this evening in the various national championships. And it didn’t encounter any obstacles from FIFA. Damage to Gasperini who has only Pisilli in midfield as an alternative to Koné and Cristante and who has to give up an El Aynaoui who is growing in the last few games. The coach yesterday made his voice heard for a situation that was not fair for all clubs. “Morocco has appealed to FIFA. We are waiting for the ruling. This is a day in which those who played on Saturday and Sunday were able to field the players who will be in the Africa Cup of Nations while we risk not”, declared Gasp who this morning had to remove El Aynauoi’s name from the list of players called up. Also out is Dovbyk who never trained with the rest of the group during the week and should return to the squad for Saturday’s match against Juventus. When Ndicka won’t even be there playing 4 days later against Mozambique. The Africa Cup of Nations will de facto deprive Roma of two starters for a month considering that Morocco and Ivory Coast are among the favorites of the tournament and that the competition will end on January 18th.
