(Reuters) - Morocco’s squad for next month’s friendly with fellow World Cup-bound side the United States, plus two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, is eagerly awaited to see if forward Hakim Ziyech makes a comeback and coach Vahid Halilhodzic keep his job.

Chelsea's Ziyech, who is Morocco's biggest star, fell out with the coach last year and did not play for the country in any World Cup qualifiers or at January’s Cup of Nations finals.

But after much-fancied Morocco departed in tepid fashion in the quarter-finals, the 69-year-old Halilhodzic faced a storm of criticism with the absence of Ziyech being the main complaint. Halilhodzic has achieved the extraordinary feat of twice before being fired after qualifying a team for the World Cup and could face the ignominy a third time if he refuses to budge.
