Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech has rejoined the collective training sessions with the team after his weekend recovery in the Netherlands. The 30-year-old playmaker, with an impressive record of 57 caps and 22 goals for Morocco, has been nursing an ankle injury sustained during the African Cup of Nations group stage match against Zambia.
Following a dedicated fitness program, Ziyech resumed training on Wednesday, March 6, marking a crucial step in his recovery process.
Galatasaray, currently leading the Turkish championship, anticipates the return of the former Chelsea player for their upcoming Süper Lig fixture against Rizespor on the 29th matchday, scheduled for Friday, March 8 at 6:00 p.m.
Ziyech’s absence from Galatasaray’s last 14 matches raised concerns, but the imminent return of the Atlas Lion signals a potential comeback in coach Okan Buruk’s squad.
The 29th matchday clash against Rizespor could witness Ziyech’s eagerly awaited return to the pitch.
The resurgence of Hakim Ziyech brings not only relief to Galatasaray but also presents promising news for Walid Regragui, the coach of the Moroccan national team.
Ziyech, a key figure in the national team, is expected to bolster the selection during the upcoming gatherings.
With exceptional vision and impeccable passing skills, Ziyech remains a valuable asset for Morocco.
Unlike some teammates, such as Sofiane Boufal, who may face exclusion due to potential injury concerns, Ziyech’s availability for the clashes against Angola (03/22) and Mauritania (03/27) appears to be a positive development for the Atlas Lions.
