Morocco coach Eric Gerets on Monday published a list of 24 players called up to face Guinea in an international friendly match scheduled for August 15 in Rabat.
Striker Younes Belhanda of French champions Montpellier, who is yet to recover from a late season injury, figures on the list, as well as Arsenal’s Marouane Chamakh, Mounir El Hamdaoui and Adel Taarabt, who are making a return after being dropped during the FIFA 2014 World Cup qualifying second round.
Both teams will be using the encounter as groundwork for the forthcoming 2013 Africa Cup of Nations final qualifying round.
