Barcelona’s 19-year-old central defender Chadi Riad has been called up to the Morocco squad by Walid Regragui for their upcoming international ties against Brazil and Peru.
Riad made his first-team debut against Osasuna this season, but has been a mainstay for Rafa Marquez and Barca Atletic. He has also appeared in the UEFA Youth League. Previously he has made one appearance each for Morocco’s under-23 and under-20 side, scoring once in the process.
Ez Abde of Osasuna (on loan from Barcelona) also makes the squad. Sevilla duo Youssef En-Nesyri and Yassine Bounou are included, and Jawad El Yamiq of Real Valladolid also returns, although teammate Selim Amallah misses out through injury.
